Depends on what's broken ... I rebuilt mine and spent about $300 in parts. All I needed to replace was the lift arms and do a lot of re-aligning and adjustment. Not an easy job, but I'm no master mechanic and I did it, so it's possible. Depends on how much you like having a sunroof. Each lift arm was <$150 at dealer for me. You might also have to replace your slide rails depending on your manufacture date, but those are <$30 each if I remember right. If the cable is busted, it starts adding up. Labor will be your biggest cost, I'd say. Any mechanic is going to have to charge you a pretty penny for that job. If you have the time and sense of adventure, do it yourself. If you really booger it up, than you can go the "caulk it shut" route.
