Default Sun Roof Problems

The sun roof glass is fine but the rail/hardware that it glides on must be replaced. There are pieces broken(kids playing on top while I had the glass in vented position and, well you can guess the rest). Anyway, the question is, can I use the hardware and railing from a '95 Grand? I found one in a local yard that looks to be in good working condition. Mine is a '98, so I'm wondering if there is any difference.

You're going to have to take a look and compare the linkage and slides. The plastic parts of the sunroof are just a little stronger than string cheese, so you have to be really carefull when working with old sun baked plastic. Good luck.
