Manual sunroof is broken

[peterpeter]

I took apart my sunroof today on my '89 325i. It's a manual crank and the first thing I noticed is that the gear that moves the cable is completely stripped, no teeth left on it. I managed to get the main sunroof panel out after a while, it was a pain to do so. My question is, where would be the best place to buy replacement parts for not too expensive? I need both of the guide rail assemblies since mine are cracked and broken in various places. Also a crank and gear assembly thing.

Would ebay be best? I haven't seen any pieces for this at any local junkyards either. If you guys have any other tips for the sunroof feel free to let me know.

post a ad here in the parts wanted section, get an entire assembly so you have everything you need, we recently had to do this and were pulling parts from multiple donor cars to get everything back into a car that was missing the moonroof.
