Hey all, I opened my sunroof up today like normal (100+ degrees here today) and it made a "clunk" sound when it opened. Now when I try to close it it gets to the point where it should come down and close (sunroof is all the way forward or pretty close to it) then it stops and pushes itself open about 3 inches. I did a quick visual inspection and was unable to find anything wrong that I could "see" any ideas?

Regards,

Greg

OK, so on further inspection it seems that a little guide has came out of the left side (I am assuming it was there, because there is one on the right almost all the way in the front (about 3 inches back) that is shaped like _/ and fits into(?) the two main flat guides. Does anyone know where I can find this kind of part?

Regards,

Greg

i have the exact same car, it does that to me every once in a while too, some kind of design flaw i assume. I wouldnt worry about it too much, usually i just open it back up then it will close correctly.
