TA22 sunroof

[joey]

Got a little bit of a dilemma with the sunroof (pretty common i've heard). This problem came with the car but has become more annoying now. When i tilt the sunroof up, one of the braces that holds the glass inside the car always slips out so when i close it it leaves about a 5mm gap.
The brace sems to be snapped off as you can see here...

(the brace material is like a thick plastic if that helps in any way)

Two methods.

right way take it to someone who does plastic welding and get it repaired profesionaly.

Dodgy but works way grind down the last of the broken of bit that is sticking out, make up a peice with similar inside dimensions as good side out of some alloy or solid plastic long enough to totaly bridge the gap and attach with some countersunk screws into original frame, paint whole inside frame with a spray can and enjoy.
