Replacement sunroof spring fingers
Slowly getting around to putting my sunroof back together, and 2 of the 3 sunroof spring fingers are broken off.
Before I put it back with only 1 (and it's not the center one), anyone aware of a replacement part or an easy (or not easy) way to MacGyver new ones?

I had the same issue.
Made two new ones out of thin sheet steel and attached with very small nuts and bolts. Put red locktite on the nuts to keep them in place.
Of course it helps to have access to a shear and bender.
Seems to work ok.
