you're going to have to remove the top roof lining to get at the glass panel. Its not hard, just time consuming.


Thanks for the reply. I opened it with the rear end up, then after looking for a few minutes, stuck my finger (from the outside of the car) into a small retangular hole in the side plastic trim piece, and it popped off. Popped off the other side and front piece ( though I now realize I didn't need to remove the front one) and loosened the 4 nuts holding the glass roof panel. That's it. About 10 minutes. Then I pulled the broken spring by unscrewing 1 screw.
As a FIY, there are U shaped shims around the bolts between the roof and brackets . They are loose... they WILL fall out! I think there are 1 thin and 1 thick shim in the front and 1 thick shim in the rear.
Thanks again for steering me in the right direction!

Hello all, I'm new here and come looking for some advice. I've got a 1994 6G coupe. The car was purchased new by my father ( pretty good mid-life crisis car!) and he gave it to me 2 years ago with 94K on it. The interior is almost perfect, and the body was perfect except for faded/worn paint. I put a new clutch and struts all around and let my wife drive it. During that time it was given 3 parking lot "gifts" (dents of various sizes). The sunroof flip-up bar screws had let go and one day while the roof was open the bar peeled back breaking the flexable curved spring on one side. I closed the roof, and now of course it won't slide back but will flip the rear end up to ventilate.
So here's my question: how do I remove the glass roof panel to install the new parts, and where should I go for these parts? Sorry for the ramble.
Thanks for your help!
David
