            Nice find, though "ease of installation" seems to be a bit of false advertising. :p

                Brenner, congrats on a nice find ... you're going to love the finished product. On question: I'm curious as to how the inner sunshade works. I bought a new kit a dozen years ago, but mine didn't include the shade. I fabbed one from the headliner piece frame and a handle from an E32 (I think) sunshade , but it's a bit dodgy because there's nothing to keep it perfectly parallel in the opening as you slide it back and forth. On mine, you've got to be careful as you move the forward and back to keep it from getting stuck and an ex-girlfriend of mine once shoved it too far back. Is there some cable mechanism or something to ensure it moves smoothly and evenly or to restrict it from going back to far? Also, on yours, is it set up so the shade will automatically retract with the moonroof itself? Mine's strictly manual in that respect.

                      To be very honest I havent really dug to much into the install yet. Since so many people have requested a copy on the instructions I was thinkin og takin some pics of the pages and posting them(I dont have a scanner)... maybe someone can make a pdf of it or something.

                      I know the shade is locked into 2 tracks under the roof tracks by 2 tabs and that it is also connected to the roof by 2 springs that should retract it with the roof
