I have dis-assembled the cable drive gear that was on this 360.
It turned out the eccentric lobe on the spindle was worn away by about 1mm and the gear wheel it operated on was in 3 pieces.
It's a 36 year old sunroof that clearly saw some action!
I was considering moulding some replica gear wheels in hard plastic but to repair the spindle would involve some deft welding and precise hand filing - too much trouble!
Anyone with non working cable gear drive units (the bit the handle attaches to)
I would be interested in buying those cheaply to cannibalize the good internal parts.
