Factory sunroof doesn't close, no one else had this problem?

[OrangeCrush]

Well, I took the glass out today and checked out the tracks. Apparently on the left side, the track assy/plastic is worn and when you push the close button, the rear end of the linkage raises up and pushes the front end down.

I called the dealer today and list price was over 1600 bucks for that assy since you can't purchase any part of it separately.

Being a bodyshop, even with our discount (and a little extra help) it was still going to be 1000 bucks.

After playing with the setup and various adjustments, I found that I can close the sunroof if I apply a small amount of pressure in the upwards direction while closing it.

For 1000 bucks, I think I'll push up on the sunroof until it simply doesn't work. I hate to do that but a grand for a replacement isn't acceptable.
