Yeah, I'll send you a message on it. Depends what you need really. I have my parts in and working like new. But I wouldn't want to fab something up and send it without testing it first. Maybe I'll hit the wrecker for a broken assembly, so I can test in the tracks.
Hi GB, I’d be very interested in a set of replacement sunroof parts for my XJR6. How are you getting on with the development and project? Thanks.
Hi, I live in Brazil and I have a XJ12 1994 and exactly the same parts form your project are broken in my sunroof. Have you the 3D file ? I would like to print it here or rebuild it in a CNC in aluminium. Congratulations for your post. rgs. sidney

If it all works, I could get more made, if anyone is interested... Don't now the price yet but so far I'm about $3500 deep down the English rabbit hole on the project.. haha
i provided the Download file In a thread . Search my posts and you can use a web 3d printing service to order the parts.
Sorry for that. I have looked all threat and I just find the Drain Channel Support from GRABCAD. I did not find the other 2 parts from the slider driven lever. Have you it ? best rgs. Sidney

as GB did not answer in a very long time i startet to model exactly this part and 3D printed it. At the moment im am not fully happy with my design as it is going a little bit rough.
Dear friends. I just had 3 pieces drawn in 3D and used the file available here for the fourth piece. See the result in the attached photos and videos. I printed it on nylon but it didn't looks good so I reprinted it on nylon with carbon fiber and it turned out fantastic. soon I will post video of the sunroof working and the 3D files for those who need it. rgs and thanks for share your experience.
See in its links some video with the parts detais
Hi Sidney, what's the action of your sunroof like with these new repro parts? Thanks.
Hi General, it's worked for some days but the both long parts broked. I reprint then using a nylon carbon fiber made in USA (harder) and it worked fine but the long one (arm) doesn't worked for a long time then I made it in inox and I will remounted its this week and I will post. I believe now it will works perfectly.

The long arm is a bit problematic. The original is made of "pot metal" and prone to breakage. I modeled it and had a new set printed in stainless steel by one of the online prototype services. It took a couple of iterations for them to get it right, but the result was a part that is quite a bit stronger than the original. The requirement of this part in the mechanism is such that I done think plastic, even carbon-nylon, will produce a workable solution. I'm not familiar with "inox", is that a metallic or plastic material?
The drain channels printed by James83g4kadm look pretty good. The model used removed all the openings and material reduction features necessary for injection molding, so the part is liable to be stronger than the original. I'll be interested in how the material and fabrication process hold up in this application.
The other part that looks good is the sliding driver assemble, nylon and aluminum by Genetic_Billionaire way up in the string. I recall that the original driver appears to be plastic, but is a metal part for strength over-molded with plastic for lubricity I suppose.
This string is getting a bit long. Anyone know of a way to consolidate and summarize the information contained?

Thank you very much for your experience, can you share 3d model files?
I am not sure he is on anymore. I tried to pm him and no response. Man those would be very handy. Heck I would pay for them. I really would like to know how he got the rivets out and put back in. Going to try a dremel tomorrow and have a few ideas on the replacement
