Default Sunroof repair needed in New England: any suggestions?

The sunroof on my 99 runs all the way to closed position with a nice plastic sounding pop as it raises into the final closed position, resulting in the sunroof reopening as if its was in a pinch mode. It does the same thing when it is opened fully or pivoted open. Looking at the tracks and everything else, I don't see anything that is obviously broken. Motor and controller are functioning fine. Searched the archives and did not find anything obvious. Stealerships want to replace the entire assembly at a tune of $1200+. Anyone with some ideas, or a good recommendation of a shop that might help? I'm in southeastern CT, but willing to drive just about anywhere within NE.

Thanks!
Eric

Default It sounds like your link guides for the sunroof...

They are lined with plastic that breaks away. I just replaced the two on my sunroof, 99 as well. I did a writeup if you are thinking of doing it on your own. Let me know and i'll email it to you.
