Sun Roof Gears - Best Priced Parts Supplier?
I've just checked with Pelican and they are charging about $7.5 per. Anyone know a supplier with a better price that is reliable?

I just finished installing new sunroof gears yesterday. I got mine from Vertex since I was already ordering some other stuff from them. They were $10 each.
Good luck

I recently purchased a new pair of those gears from Parts Heaven and I seem to remember that the cost was $12 for the pair.... or was it $12 each? They are good guys and worth knowing regardless!

dan,
send me a PM with your address and $3.80 postage and i will send you two new gears i didn't use. when i went to fix my sunroof, i realized i had the early set-up with no gears and ended up tearing everything out going manual.

Fezz, Just PM'd you. A very generous offer. If there is anything I can do to repay you let me know. -Dan
(PS to Magown and Turbite- Appropriately name by the way!) Fezz's response is in keeping with the spirit of the board. It's not the dollar amount. I can AFFORD the friggin $7.50 or whatever. It's just helping out each other with good sources, little bits of advice that make a repair easier or whatever...
And by the way, when you made your smartass jab about $7 bucks you didn't know if I'm one of the several 16 or 18 year old's posting here that have a '44 and a job at PizzaHut or whatever. I'm a hell of a lot older than that, but I remember working minimum wage and trying to work on my cars in those days. You don't forget that if you really have always cared about cars.

Geez, cheaper then $7.50. Are you kidding? Is it even worth posting for the possibility of saving 75 cents?
Capeesh?

Capeesh!
I sorta thought they were bagging me too and didn't get it. I thought the whole point of posting was helping each other out with stuff. Granted this is not a big deal. I can afford the gears if they are 4x$7.50 or 4x$10. I wouldn't be posting if it really were onyl $.75, geesh. But $2.50 more per part is like 33% more.
Anyway, the issue is why pay any more than I have to, if you guys have bought them cheaper somewhere else? Yeah, I guess that still comes off as cheap. Oh well, screw it. I'm not paying an extra 33% for pretty much anything if I don't have to and if the board wants to flame me for that attitude, .... it takes all kinds.
