Sunroof sag S90-V90 1998

Thanks for the info.
I think I have it fixed, for now.
I removed the four screws with 5/16 or 8mm heads and lifted the glass out with a helper. Laid it upside down on padding behind the hole.
I could see nothing at all wrong with the frame.
Apparently the holes in the glass frame simply did not allow enough upward adjustment.
Solution was to snip the bottom of the adjustment holes off so they became slots.
Re-install, adjust, and problem solved.

Why did it go bad? I think the gasket around the glass was compressed over the previous 11 years. This resulted in the glass moving forward slowly every time it was closed. That caused a gap at the rear. The proper solution, IMHO, is to replace the gasket. Dealers are seldom the source of repair info, but they do a good job of selling parts, or trying to.
