My sunroof makes noise from left side, as a piece of iron that vibrates when car go in the hole (and during accelerations too), I opened id ant then I checkedthe situation: it miss one of two its supports (the left one). Now it's working without it, so sometimes it blocks itself stopping movements (many times no problem, it depends if that piece of iron can move free or not). Anyone can help me how find that support missed and how mount the new one? Thank you very much.
 
I don't believe the cast metal parts are available separately, the whole sunroof mechanism needs to be replaced, which in tales removing the head liner, quite a big job.

Best to keep an eye on eBay for a used sunroof machanism, new will be very expensive, if you can get one.

Thank you very much, and sorry but my language limit counts very much (I use costantly an online dictionary, but that isn't enough with particular machanical terms in particular unfortunately).

Seriously dude... you need to put some effort in... especially as most of the members on this forum are UK based... you would be best served searching your own countries eBay..

Can appreciate its a bit of a struggle dude... at least you do use actual words in your posts unlike some of the youngsters on here that seem to think text speak is perfectly acceptable to use... which it isn't by the way :)
