I fixed the sunroof yesterday. Everything looks pretty good. Getting the rear glass in was a little tricky. Cranking it by hand in the car everything looks good. Everything goes back and forward perfectly nicely. I'm kind of surprised.

I need to make some small alignment tweaks to the glass before trying the power motor. Honestly I don't even really want to try it. At this point I'm content to pull the fuse and ppf it but I suppose I have to see if it works. I'm pretty sure it will. I also have to update the software on the sunroof module first. The new seal is a little bigger so the software to open and close it has to be different.

I was finally able to drive it above 40 miles an hour. No wind noise. I have to spray a little water on top and leak test too, but I think it will be good.

It drove pretty well on the highway. I even wound out third gear on the entrance ramp to redline, it runs pretty good. Finally, this thing's been sitting in the garage since the day it showed up like a paperweight for exactly 2 months. Winter is about over. Whatever .. next winter it will be a great daily driver.

Next I'm going to drop the headliner off to get redone. The black interior pieces I picked up a couple of them are a little Sun faded almost like a dark blue, so I'm going to attempt to use the fabric dye stuff on those. Then I have to fix the oil leak(s) ..
