Unhappy Glass moon roof

Somehow, one of the metal peices that the front clip thingies screw into which hold the clips onto the class has fallen off (I guess I was going to fast). Anyways, where can I get one of these peices at? Does anybody here have one I can have?

Thanks,
lindr6

You might be able to find one from a junk yard. Usally, if it a small piece they won't charge you a thing.

you're prolly better off my looking for another moonroof from a junkyard or sumthing. but if anything go to www.mazdtrix.com

I beleive the clips that hold the roof in are the same as the metal counterpart, its the carraige bolt looking thingy that will be hard to find.

If its a 79 I got a glass roof for it for sale...

Unfortunatly, it is that carrage bolt looking thing that I am missing. So you guys think that my best bet is junkyards?

How in the hell do you lose the hardware that holds the moonroof on
the car,,while it's on the car ?? both kinds of roofs use the same
bracket on the front,that slip in one of the two attaching points.the
metal use screws,while the glass roofs use bolts that go all the way through the glass,,local hardware store has carraige bolts,use a carraige
bolt,put some silicon on both sides of the hole(s)then put the bolt through
the glass,the silicon acts as a buffer for the metal bolt to the glass,and
weather proofs as well,,i'd say use a nylock nut,,any threads showing
after the nut should be trimmed,so roof will close all the way down
