I always swore that I was gonna fix the pano roof the RIGHT way when it went south on me. "Dremel? PLEASE!" I used to say.
Yeah? Well our 3500 mile NE road trip starts on Saturday and my shizzle just went fizzle yesterday. After I found the 2 part YouTube description from someone with an E70, I took to (at least) getting the rear portion closed. That was pretty damn easy. My Chevy tool is going to get a new badge, soon.
Once I screwed around with initialization and had to hammer it BACK in again, I decided that the redneck fix was the one for me. Securing, powering, and positioning myself and the Dremel took longer than trimming off the piece on both sides.
Once complete, the rear portion stays just where it should- in order not to get stuck- while the front operates up/down/ and open/close with zero issues.
Unfortunately, some very sudden and very dramatic family medical issues raised up as I was working. We may not get t o do the trip. And that's OK. We've got one less sunroof fish to fry. We may have replaced it with a ton more to work through. If only a Dremel would help with those.
