Re: sunroof question '84 5000T

	It sounds like you have the same problem I have... Pop the roof up
and see if you notice little a metal piece that is broken. It will have an
odd liooking track, and a hook type. What happned is that if the metal
part brakes it cannot hold the roof down so it will scrape the paint. 

	BE CAREFUL!!! I punchtured the interior roof lineing while messing
with it. See if that is the prob, If so I have some places to get the
parts from cheap...
