Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine who is taking graduate engineering classes at BSU about the various projects I have to deal with on my 924 and the subject came to the sunroof.

I found the first image on the Vertex Auto site. I found the second on Pelican. These things are, like $150- $160 at Vertex or Pelican! Ouch! And the thing is, the only part that seems to fail is the little plastic triangular hinge piece. Okay, yeah, I can get that little hinge piece for about $5 bucks from Pelican, but my buddy had another idea. He said he might be able to make that hinge piece from aluminum on the university's CNC mill. I think that sounds pretty nifty! So here's the rub, I only have one of the handles! So I'm throwing it out there, does anybody have another front latch for the sunroof. I don't need the hinge, and I don't need the mounting plate, I just need the handle. Anybody?[/url]

Little triangle piece is already available in aluminum.

And anyway, I'm still looking for the handle...

Well, I guess I know a guy who's not going to have a class project this semester! Thanks, Rasta!
