Broken sunroof guides/clips
the metal clips/guides that jaguar no longer offers replacements for broke on my 95 xjr, the dealership told me they just seal the roofs shut when they break, i have access to a machine shop and could have the guys make me some replacements for the broken parts, would this be of interest for any other jag owners or does anyone know where i can get replacements?

with these clips, the sunroof will still slide back/forth, and tilt, etc.
however, when tilted, the upholstered panel hangs lower than it should, and when opened or closed, the smaller, rear upholstered panel will drag slightly. black plastic, there are two of them.
I don't know what else they could be. I would take a picture of them, but my battery is disconnected for my current head gasket swap issue. :/

Tilt and Slide Mechanism
RH side HNA1752AA
LH side HNA1753AA
The assembly comes complete with the plastic unit that drags the rear interior trim panel back and forth.
The plastic unit also locates the spring loaded arm that you are probably talking about. They pop out and people try to bend them to stay in the plastic unit. They are CAST arms and break when you try to bend them.
Next time bend the steel fulcrum pin that the arm pivots on and the arm will be located tighter and it will not break because you won't be bending it. I have done hundreds of these for this reason.
