are you aware that there is a manual crank that is basically an Allen screw under the cover?

I was not aware of this. Thank you! Where exactly can I find this manual crank? I live in California and I park my car in a garage so I wouldn't have to open and close the roof very often. I could open it in the summer and pretty much leave it that way for months.

Between the two sun visors is a cover plate for the sun roof motor. Remove it and you will see the Hex (Allen) key screw. If you don't have the original crank, you can use a regular Allen wrench to turn it.

Default Traction

I saw that in the feed but it looks like they are running low on traction.

Hey guys, as an update, I started a new thread on this topic. If you guys need this gear yet, give me some feedback! If people show enough interest, I can get replacement gears professionally made.
