Default Sunroof Help.

So I had an error yesterday with the Ti and tried closing the sunroof and all I heard was a loud bang and the sunroof was just flopping. So this is where I need help.. does anyone know if a coupe or sedan sunroof fit the ti one?

Also, if I just replace the roof.. has anyone changed the parts before or have some detailed pics or video?

Here is the parts I think so far I need to purchase to fit this POS or... just might delete it.

Parts:

I'm at work so don't have time for much detail, but... I'm pretty sure that the "cassette" can't be swapped from a coupe or sedan, but some of the individual parts are interchangeable, e.g. the "Bowden Cable." Check realoem.com and maybe Pelican Parts for info on parts interchangeability.

There are a few videos on Youtube. I've got a sunroof cassette I've been meaning to fix and make a video, but just haven't gotten around to it.

You might need to take it apart to see which parts are actually broken. If you have some way to temporarily "delete" the sunroof, i.e., fill the hole, while you work on the sunroof, that would be a lot less stressful for you.

I was lucky enough to find an entire used cassette to repair then swap with my broken one so I didn't have to let the car sit around with a hole in the roof.

Good luck!

AGH! I might just delete this damn sunroof then lol filler plate, or local pick and pull and maybe take a battery with me to test the unit before buying or ripping apart anything.

Best video so far I found was this:

This is the video that helped me. I think there are 3 parts and that's the 1st one.

I haven't seen the one you posted, but will check that out later today.
