Ok what's the latest on this??? It's summer now and I want my moonroof to work. Also, has anyone thought of just having someone machine a brass ring to fit over as an insert over this plastic gear so the worm gear won't slip?? I'm not talking about maching a whole new gear from scratch, but why not a brass slip ring that could be epoxied over the existing gear?? I'm not a machinist but I don't think that would be too costly.
