This is all for the standard roof, if you have the pano, I know nothing as I will never own one with
The kits seem to come with a lot of parts that never break or need replacing.
The slider circled is almost always broken and the white thing circled is worn out. 1 generally doesnt break and there is another piece that slides behind that on the E53 that doesnt break. I have seen #2 the plastic cap that has tabs bend/break, but you dont need the whole metal arm. as for the rest, not needed. Although I did find that there is a moulded on rubber retainer to the metal arm(right side of pic to the forward end) that had detached from the arm, but was able to fix that.

I wished I could find a good video of disassembly showing the sun shade moving but havent had luck.
