Default SC sunroof
Posting here because the wife just isn't impressed.

But after HOURS of adjusting, taking it apart and back together, reworking the clutch mechanism, and lubing... not to mention having to take apart and rework the return spring on the wind deflector it all works...For now!

Seriously, if you need help with the sunroof mechanism, let me know. I'm kicking myself that I did not take pics along the way.

PS. Thanks goes to my brother from stopping me from welding it up about half way through the process.

Interesting. I didn't know the SC sunroof deflect went straight up like that. The Carrera version makes like a little ramp in front. Nice work.

your right...however, when your moving it will fall backwards another few millimeters. I had to rework the torsion spring mechanism. the wear on the pivot points was extreme. its the best I could get out of it.
