RE: HELP! Sunroof Trim Problem

[Cheapass Ron <rapieper@yahoo.com>]

Naw, I had 'em, what I was trying to do was preassemble the thing and
think that I could slide it all back there together.  Maybe I shoulda
just slid the rails/cable tracks in, then placed the drip tray and trim
into their tracks from below (or above??), then farted around getting
the little nipples (heh) to poke (heh) into the little holes (heh
heh)...so I engaged in some lightweight bondage (heh) and tied the
rails together.

BTW, will a too-high front or rear adjustment cause the top of the
sunroof to scrape on the underside of the car's roof?  I got that goin'
on....just haven't made the time to fix it yet.

Thx, 

(Dumbass) Ron
