About 3 years ago, my sunroof in my Cougar broke along with a vast majority of fellow owners. I quickly learned it's one of the top failure parts for the car, but not being a critical part, I eventually forgot all about it. Recently some fellow owners, including Excelcier, found replacements in local junkyards. I became increasingly aware of my previously forgotten broken sunroof, especially when surrounded by people who enjoy taunting me by leaving their sunroof open while parked. EternalOne took pity on me, and donated his sunroof after deciding he no longer wanted it. An attempted replacement with Jrak left me with detailed knowledge of sunroof assembly, but the donor part was also broken and the sky remained an extra-vehicular activity. Fast forward to today when I finally broke down and bought a replacement part. Fighting mosquitos, I managed to get it installed in 45 minutes flat, 5 of which was spent conversing with the ex-Morlock who quickly moved on after learning I was engaged in actual work.

I would of donated you my G6 panoramic sunroof to you, oh well Senator Kelley |
It's about time! Now if you cherish it, NEVER OPEN IT AGAIN! That's what I'm doing. Keep's it "working" that way. I still don't trust the new design, it has the same crappy plastic failure point even with the metal track design. Excelcier |
The cougar is one giant crappy plastic failure point. MorlockPrime |

Brad, the next time you're thinking about spending time working on your car, try to remember this phrase, "You can't polish a turd." MorlockPrime |
Even that's not proven, Ron. I had my replaced, opened it only twice afterwards to ensure it worked perfectly. Then closed and never touched it again, when Brad installed it, it was broken... :P E1 |
