Using the part numbers from the SHOtimes website, I ordered what I
thought were lifter arms directly from Webasto. They came, and to my
surprise were the rail-piece that attaches with 3 screws to the moonroof
glass itself. I was expecting the little pieces that do the actual
lifting.
Alas, even after taking the whole thing apart, I can't figure out which
pieces wear, causing the roof to rattle. That was, after all, the whole
point to taking it apart! Anybody able to shed some light on the
situation?
I decided not to install the new parts. Since I had it all torn apart,
I decided to grease the sliding rails with some red Mobil 1 synthetic
grease. The moonroof moves much, much easier. I didn't even realize
how much it had slowed down until I fixed it!
