Just In Time For Winter

I so rule. It took me about 8 months, but I fixed the Jeep's broken sunroof.

I had to drop the headliner, which means disassembling just about the whole dang car, to get to the sunroof. It took a $100 parts kit off of the Internet and a few weekend afternoons of investigating, disassembling, and eventually repairing.

I even "upgraded" the OEM pop rivets to #10 loctite-ed bolts. Superkid got the honor of the official demonstration test, for exceptional knowledge and faithful service at retrieving such oddities as torx drivers, assorted interior trim parts, and the always useful roll of teflon pipe tape.

It's good to have that sunroof working again... and The Mommy likes having the oh-(poo) handles back. They're good for leverage when refereeing the young-uns in the back seat.

As always, the question must be answered: why not pay someone to do it. Well, a normal body shop won't touch a sunroof. And now I know why. But the sunroof shop wanted about $3K to do the job. I had to at least try to fix it...
