Automobile Atlanta or other parts shop. They run about $5 each.(You will need 2.)

Errr, you might want to use ANY other parts place rather than Automobile Atlanta. <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" />

I second that!!!!! <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> Being a newbie, I was just molested by them (AutoAtlanata) and due to my high blood pressure, I won't go into detail. Use Vertex or PAP, both have had great service and price. $8 each. I would order some spares as well. Ended up stripping one during refitting and was glad I ordered 3.

Adjust your sunroof motor clutch to spare your new gears.

Jeez, ISTR paying a LOT less than eight bucks per gear at PartsHeaven.... YMMV.

There a a few places to get this tech artical, but go to Pelicanparts.com and look under the tech articals. There is an entire artical on replacing and adjusting your sunroof. Will tell you about the clutch etc. Although, if anyone knows how to hold the motor to allow the loosening of the two smaller nuts, I'd like to know! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
