Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love having a sunroof-- I just hate the fact that, like many other things on the E46, they found the cheapest parts on the planet with which to construct them.

I thought it was the over-engineering we all cherish; some of which looks fantastic on paper and is a complete disaster when executed... At any rate - the sunroof does blow on the E46. If the slider parts break, those can be replaced relatively easy. If the cassette is jacked up, that's another story. Praise the deity of your choice your car is still under CPO warranty.Originally Posted by kayger12

A Venza just isn't the same as a ZHP.

100% agreed. My 325 snapped a bowden cable, so I had either a $2,200 stealer repair, a $700 second hand cassette to install myself, or an inoperable sunroof. I opted for #3 and then bought the ZHP.
At this point I'll take the new sunshade driver and clips via the CPO and be happy-- I hope.

Based on the scratch on the slider track, I'm hoping you get an entirely new cassette, clips and sunshade driver. The cassette is obviously damaged from other parts failing... Stick it to to the dealer. It'd be nice for someone to steal something back. =>

It wouldn't be stealing though.

I just love the e46 sunroof! Not really. I have the wonderful broken shade that decided to get jammed as I was opening it. Luckily I was able to pull out the shade and the sunroof still worked.
Never had an issue with any of my other cars that had sun roofs. BMW needs to get their act together. No wonder former BMW owners are flocking to Audi.

Hope they dealership replaces everything for ya w/out a hassle. So lucky you're under warranty still!
I've just accepted the fact that I have to hold the button the entire time the roof closes. Everything looks good in there, so I'm not sure what else is going on.

This makes me glad mine doesn't have a sunroof. The hard part would be finding a e46 M3 to replace it with with no sunroof from factory.
