Last week while opening my sun roof, the metal clip inside of the sunroof that is attached to the metal pole with springs (thats a detailed, one sentence description), decided to break. Oddly enough, the sunroof still works. The liner on the driver sags a little when its in vent, this is because the black spring no longer anything to attach to, but it still opens. When I open it all the way and then close it, it closes until it gets about an inch from the end. At that point, it just stops. I have to reopen it and force it shut with my hands to fully close it.

Anyway, i figure that the little clip that broke is causing all of this. They are plastic on one end and and have a rod a metal (or silver colored plastic) about 2.5 inches long going through the plastic part. I still have one of them inside of there. It seems to be working fine.

Does anyone know where i can purchase these clips? I just got a bunch of "work on car" money and i was going to finally finish up fixing my car in the next month or so. So, of course i want the sunroof to work too. Figured i would buy one of those sunroof windflaps to go with the new paint job.


Thanks again.
