Hi, I got a big box of parts from Phil on Friday (Thanks Phil); now in attempting to reassemble the sunroof I need some advice from someone who's been there: I can get each slide-lift bracket in the track by starting from toward the rear, then slide it forward to the stop. The three 8mm bolts on each end of the bridge are pretty tough to get in place that way, though. Also, what is the best way to get the rear rain gutter in place: push the bridge and brackets back, then place the gutter and pull the brackets forward, or? Also, need advice on the adjustment of the bridge with the side brackets.
Have a little mercy: mine came apart in pieces, so I'm starting from semi-scratch.

Randy,go to my post's you will find the one on a 1990 420sel job that was just done I think last month,pics should help.JNT

Hi, I did find the photos; thanks. It looks like your bridge came over the sunroof opening enough that you could get to the three 8mm bolts on either side easily; my bridge will not quite come to the rear edge of the opening, so I have to reach into the gap with a wrench;does this mean I don't have the brackets in the track correctly? The only way I can get the brackets to drop into the track is to take them toward the rear of the opening, past the stainless strip which is rivited ontot eh top of the lower track, then bring it back forward, but it seems to hit a stop and won't come forward as far as it seems it should.
Anyway, thanks for the help; I'll keep struggling until I get it.

Any resistance will stop it.with one hand try to hold it up so that the bar dose not touch the roof frame,it should come forward, that is how you get the rear of the roof to pop up as a vent,go slow and try again.JNT
