Does anyone sell the little wire thingy that helps keep the sunroof motor cover on?

Thanks.

You mean the wire thingy that attaches between the circle-hoop-wire-catcher in the roof and the only-for-small-hands-clip in the cover?

You could make your own with a coat hanger, or get a used one from 928intl

A bargain at twice the price! My cover will only stay in place until I open the rear hatch and then it's coming down soon thereafter. There are a lot of us out there...

Maybe we can get Ed (OBhave) to fab some for us in his shop? It's just a little piece of spring steel with a loop at one end. How hard could that be to make? (asks the guy who knows nothing about these black arts...).

NOOOOOOOO! It's just a piece of spring steel, like piano wire. You could most likely use a hinge pin from continuous hinge (piano hinge). Or call 928 Intl and get the whole cover to rob the spring, but please don't use super glue. I promise you'll regret it.

Call them. I'm sure they would be willing to pull one off one of the cars there.

Lengths of "piano wire" spring steel is stocked at most ACE hardware stores.

Crud, I just put mine back together, and was going to take a photo of the internals, but forgot in my haste to meet the transporter pickup time. Once I get my car back I will be happy to oblige if no one beats me to it :-)

Cheers,
Dave
