Hey guys,
So a year ago I wanted to convert from my manual sunroof to electric. You guys sent me the list of parts (tubes, gear unit, motor, etc).
It all worked fine but the old Porsche -style unit seemed to struggle and ultimately the rubber drive link tube literally melted- as if exposure to air caused it to disintegrate.
Then Jeff brings his car in for an EV conversion and I see HIS 1975 motor. A whole different unit I hadn’t seen before, and a rubber drive connector that won’t melt.
But I can’t seem to find one of these. It looks factory like BMW switched to these the last year, and the mounting bolts are completely different. His sunroof drives strong and I WANT IT.
Anyone know where to send me to find one? Is it from another BMW?
Thanks all!
