Question Bought a 944S - need tech help (sunroof, engine belts)

It's been a while since I've been online with you boys and girls.
I just added a 944S to my stable and it has a few minor problems. Now that I am experienced with a few teardowns I would like to make a few maintenance type repairs.
I suspect the sunroof gears are stripped, and I need to know where to get the necessary parts for the repair.
Also I want to change the timimg and cam belts and I am looking for tech info on this.
Can anyone give me a resource for either of these projects?
Thanks a lot!

check the wires in front of the sunroof motor, mine were cut/grounding out, and i got only intermittent sunroof operation. i realized the problem when i saw smoke from a small electrical fire under the carpet back there. there's now tubing on that sheet metal seam to keep it from rubbing again.

good luck!
