Mk2 moonroof operation question

[davidwinchell2 at sprynet.com (David L. Winchell, II)]

Mark,

It should move in both directions. It with the symptoms your describing
it sounds like you have two problems.  

The first is the cable that drive the mechanism or the rails the roof
moves in need to be replaced.  (I am thinking the cable)  

The second issue (the scratched surface) is an indicator of an
improperly aligned moon roof panel. Both are real fun to deal with,
fortunately you'll be able to take care of both as you replace the
cable.  Just follow the Bentley step by step and it will go well.  I
made the "special tool" from a wire hanger and a pair of pliers.  

Let me know if you find a source for the seals.  I need two.

Good luck,

Dave

Hey list,

I'm going through the 86 that I picked up from Philly this past weekend,
and 
it seems like the moonroof doesn't work like I remember them working
(I'm a 
little foggy on Mk2 stuff though - it's been a while)...

I can only crank it one way - it'll go about 3 turns (roof sliding to
the 
rear), and then I have to push the button to go further. Same thing
happens 
on the way back, but three turns from closing. Didn't these things flip
up 
at the back if you turned them one way (approximately 3 crank turns),
and 
slide back if you turned the crank the other way?

Also, the rear of the moonroof has the paint scratched off on both sides

(about a 2" section on each side). Something ain't right...

Are the moonroof seals still available?

Thanks!

Mark.
