Hi all! New poster, new to the Subie fam - actually new (again) to car ownership! Dove back in with an '05 LGT wagon (auto) and have been mostly loving it, despite the quirks, until the dreaded tilt problem began in my moonroof... One side of the tilt will pop up, but then the glass is warped and stuck in the half tilted position, and the main glass will not move at all.
After removing the front glass and digging around a little I noticed this tiny cylindrical piece of off-white plastic that clipped into a break in the rail on both sides of the car, and the pass side had cracked and as a result the little arm that was held in place pops out. I can manually force it in, get the bracket back down into the frame and then the glass back on, but I would love to be able to repair this tiny piece without having to go the way of replacing the entire moonroof as I've read about... pics below, and sorry if there is a thread out there already!
