If ever there was a thread to inspire an E30 owner, this is it. Beautiful work.

In process:


On the first day was dismounted the interior and metal roof. We remake slider - the one which came with moonroof was totally corrupted. Sliders are the same for the metal roof and for the moonroof - the only difference is that moonroofs slider got stopper. So we dismount stopeer from corrupted slider and attach it to the good one. This procedure allowed to avoid the sliders alteration.:D
Almost all the parts of the moonroof mechanism are identical to metal roof mechanism. This fact made the work a little bit easier and it was necessary to replace only a few parts.
There was a problem with one spring - I couldn't figure out where should I place it... But in the evening, digging up Internet, I found installation manual of the glass moonroof. I found out that the springs should be two (they are holding drain gutter), so the next day I went to the shop and bought similar springs.
But then came out another unexpected problem. The metal frame of the moonroof was not in very attractive look, so I repaint it in High gloss shadow line color. However, when I imposit the frame back, there remain aprox 0.5 mm wide space between the frame and glass part. I mount brand new OEM sealing rubber and moonroof starts to tackle.:( I had to pull off the frame, it appeared that the glue used is too good, but, fortunately, I separate the frame from the glass successfully and stick it one more time without any gaps. But today, when moonroof was pleaced, it starts to tackle again, just a little bit this time. I hope that the rubber sealing will rub off after some time and this defect will be lost.
Task for tomorrow - to assemble the interior.
