I have searched the board and could not find what I needed so here goes. I am trying to fix my sunroof, previous owner messed it up some how. I am wondering how the tubes work, does the front tube attached to the sunroof slide over the tube in the back to make the sunroof open. If so how hard is the tube to get out because it is crimped and they will not slide over each other.

Thanks
Chris

what tubes? Are you talking about the little arms that push the wind deflector down when the soofroof closes.
