Panoramic Sunroof cassette replace or repair?

[Kev]

Hi all,

Like probably the majority of owners with this wonderful expensive option, after 5 years of use, its broken.

But only slightly.

Ok, the original problem was that a part snapped from the side rail - this is the part that broke

Just where the yellow arrow is, the plastic rail snapped so that the guide came off the rail.

By trying to close the roof with the button, I suppose I managed to snap the cables that close the rear section (but I can close that in 30 seconds with a screwdriver pushing back the guide manually on both sides).

i managed to remove the offending part without taking out the roof, just took off the fan cover, and undid 2 T20 screws. So its really easy to fix - if I can get the part.

By glueing the broken part back I now have a roof that can open/close - but I wouldnt try to tilt it as I dont trust the glue. Simple answer dont tilt the roof, but some day, someone will forget, and then I'll wish I'd fixed it properly.

Does anyone have a busted cassette mechanism with the nearside (left) rail intact that I could buy from them? I'll happily buy a new one if I can get a part number - even the complete 'fix kit' will be fine if this includes the part that I need (I'd change all easy parts anyway if they are made of such fragile plastic).

Thanks in advance guys.
