[s-cars] ahhh please help me fix my sunroof leak!

[steve powers]

There's actually a following tray, which is supposed to catch the water
and direct it towards the drains. The attachments (hinges) are pot metal
-
cheesy at best - and tend to break, leaving this tray stuck somewhere
in the nether regions above your headliner.

Mine's broken and I must retrieve it with a coathanger and reposition
it occasionally. It all goes to hell if you move the sunroof at all.

Replacement? Hah! You have to buy the whole sunroof assembly. One of
my rainy day projects is to figure out how to make some new hinges
from stainless.
