I think one of the mail order places (Europart, Sebring?) offers a rebuild
kit for the sunroof for about $70.  This wouldn't include a motor, but they
might have those too.  Check any local dumps also.

>Is it possible to replace w/ a manual crank.

I would think so.  The motor one has an Alan wrench keyed gear under the
switch cover, that's used to manualy close the roof in an emergency.  I
would think you could either adapt something, or maybe the other manual
roof mechanisims could be reto fitted.   ---JCG.
