WTB: Sunroof manual crank screw (85.5 944)
Hello All,
I'm looking for the tension screw that is used to manually crank the sunroof (located in the rear trunk area, slightly forward of the motor). It is the screw that is supposed to have a plastic cap on it which you remove and use the provided wrench to turn to crank the roof closed or open.
It appears that someone tried to turn mine only to sheer it off (over-tightened?) at the head, so that the screw is still in the mechanism but there is no head to place the wrench on.
I'm going to try to use an extractor to pull the current screw, but need the replacement.
Anyone with a parts car that they can pull this out for me? Thanks. PM me.

I should have it off my 88 944S. I'll check for you when I get home from Easter.
