Quick and free sunroof repair for a "sagging" rear corner
Yesterday, I got out of my car and noticed a gap at the RH rear of the sunroof where it wasn't sealed up against the roof all the way. Good thing I live where it doesn't rain. 
At any rate, I started boning up on sunroof info, as I've not torn into one before. I'd assumed a cable was going or gone, or something, and this was going to turn into a few hundred $ sunroof rehab. When I read about the height adjustment at the rear, I popped off the liner so I could take a peek. The rear carrier nut was loose, and allowed the sunroof panel to settle down. A quick job solved by pushing up the panel and tightening the 7mm bolt.
Gotta get lucky sometimes....
The before, LH side vs RH side as I found them, the RH side after being lifted, and the after shot:
