moonroof slider specs & photos

[smooth]

Would someone please post detailed pictures of the moonroof sliders?
I need to either find one for sale or just make my own.

I beleive they are the same sliders as the metal roofs. Mine were anyway. In fact on one of my moonroofs the metal sliders were rusted so I just used the stock sliders from the metal roof. HTH

thanks e30ryan, I realized my question wasn't very accurate.
I'm referring to the shade panel...that's what I want to try and build.

Not the greatest picture, but here's what mine looks like.

Yes, I'm referring to the grey panel with the handle on it.

That doesn't look too different from the sunroof panel, but when I try to move it it's feels like it's attached to the sunroof by something. It doesn't move by itself. If it's just screwed on, maybe it can be unscrewed and slid back and forth so long as I find a handle?

I'm hoping someone has the panel and slide mechanism out of the vehicle so they can take pictures of the rails for me. With enough detail, I can fab one up and just make or use a different slider.

Does that shade just slide around freely or is it attached to some rails to slide easily on? I mean, is it on a mechanism or just resting on the roofliner?

Did you get anywhere with this idea? Any insight you want to share?
