Unfortunately I'd have to look at it to determine what's wrong with it. It isn't a complicated mechanism, and it should be fairly obvious how it's supposed to work.

You can probably get replacement guides from a dealer or junkyard. I'd try the dealer first, because you won't have to manually open the sunroof of a car whose roof is caved-in from the car on top of it. They shouldn't be too expensive from a dealer (but they probably are), as there simply isn't that much to them.

Another possibility is that you could simply remove the deflector and add a third-party unit for about $40. You see these a lot- they bulge up from the roof whether the sunroof is open or closed. I have no experience with these. Does anyone out there know if these are any good, and easy to install?

i think the pannel is mounted ok because it lines up with the top of the roof perfect cai i get replacement gudes for the wind diflector? will that solve my problem? thanks again ~JOHN BANNER~
