Hah... I've had a piece of acrylic over the sun-roof hole since this past spring.. The guy I bought it from had a plastic tarp over it.. and he just said it needed a motor to work right.. and well eventually after I bought the car and I went to fix the roof and I took off the plastic I saw that all around the edges the panel was rusted.. There was also water trapped under the tarp.. so that didn't help the situation at all..
That and he had it siliconed shut as well.. *sigh* So I just ripped out the panel along.. was trying to fix the sun-roof operation and I noticed that the reason it wouldn't move is because the plastic gears that grip the sliding cable which makes the sun-roof move back and forth.. the teeth were worn down.. the motor works fine.
Toyota wants like 350 for the panel.. if it's true that I can get an aftermarket moon roof installed for 300 then i'm gettin that!
Although it can't be sliding anymore since I have speakers installed now in the cieling over the rear seats.. god makes a sweet fuckin spot for speakers though!
