5000 sunroof blues

[esw5@postoffice2.mail.cornell.edu (Ernest Wong)]

Hi,
I've finally joined the fraternity of kaputt 5000 sunroof sufferers. The
dealer verified it was a broken lifter bracket. The quote was $165.
Has anyone done this repair and is willing to share any secrets to
replacing the bracket? Dealer quote sheet lists a lifter bracket kit. Is
the repair kit from Audi just for the broken bracket or do they send 2 of
the 'beefed up' brackets for replacement. I'm curious because the other
bracket will break too since it is of the old design.
sunroofless (and it is really nice fall weather for using sunroof. :-( )
Thanks for any help.
