Cars!
So I have 2 sunroofs, front - tilt, rear - retract. The cover on the rear has been off its rails since I got it, though the lid & everything else is fully operational.
Left a few mates in the car while I ducked inside to grab something & one of them yanked at the cover and somehow jammed it up in the mechanism so the roof no longer works. Great.
Oh well, I was going to pull it apart to fix it & tidy up my pilled roof lining anyway. So to get to it I have to pull out pretty much all trims - boot, pillars etc etc, not a hard job but time consuming. As I'm taking the sunroof frame out I notice broken plastic pieces everywhere - turns out the plastic rails for the front sunroof cover are broken, even though it still worked fine.
I'm there thinking "Yeah I'll just go get new rails shouldn't be too expensive". It was then I noticed the rails were pop riveted to the plastic trim surround for the front sunroof. So I can't buy the rails seperately, I need to buy the plastic trim surround as well.
$770 for the part I need from Subaru.
Needless to say I'm trying to track it down from a wreckers.
On the plus side, the rear was easier to fix than I thought, only needed 2 new bolts, and there is no sign of rust anywhere up in the roof/body/sunroof.
