Thank you. I will bent it back. If I understood correctly the lever should
snap into the notch. Correct?
Everything else works ok. I adjusted plastic gears to turn on/off
microswitches and they work. Does it make sense to take whole sunroof off and
clean cable and guides?

P.S. Peter, does the the epoxy you used to glue a fitting into intercooler
still hold? What kind of glue did you use?
