Haha not in Cali. I love my sunroof open out by the ocean or just cruising.

 

Good job coming up with an inventive DIY fix though. There's going to have to be more and more of those as prices of OEM parts continue to go through the roof (no pun intended).

 

My other car has a working sunroof and i still never use it... lol

 

Thought I'd mention. The bushings aren't required. I took my whole assembly out, saw said bushings, broken as usual, and just took them out. Realized that it was too much work to source new bushings so I just put it back together. Carb cleaned everything. Regreased the whole mother and put it back in. Now it goes up on its own, without me having to touch it.

Only weird thing is, I took out the cables to FULLY degrease them, and when i put them back in, I must have tracked them retardedly, because now when I open my sunroof to the first stage (There are 2 stages: the tilt up, and the fully open), it tilts up and proceeds to move back 2 inches. But it does so fine, and now it goes back all the way on its own, as well as closes on its own.

Keep in mind I carb cleaned and regreased every spring, track, and everything else that moves.

But yeah, other than that, the bushings aren't essential to the operation of the sunroof. I've been running mine like this for about 10 months now.
