Sunroof adjustment (and what screws?)

Just a quick question as I'm prematurely getting excited about the possibility of getting my 944 back on the road as its going in to a garage tomorrow to have the electrics looked at.

When my car came back from the re-spray, several little things had not been put right. One of which is the metal centre catch on the sunroof which has not been put back on and all the screws/screw caps are missing. I understand (from clarks garage) that the later cars have the micro switches for sunroof possition primarily on the motor arm but that it still has a switch on this catch as a back-up (and in fact I can hear it click when it push the metal prong up and down).

Where might I get the correct screws for this (are they a typical/standard size?) and how do I adjust the micro switch to be correct? I don't want to just tighten up the screws all the way and break something!

Many thanks in advance,

Ben

The microswitch in the front of the roof indicates the prescence of the roof, adjustment for raisng is taken care of at the rear via nylon rack and pinion affairs on each side placing the drive cogs in to a differnt position with the lifting arms affects the height balance of lifting, the nylon drive cogs can break teeth off easily this is a design feature to stop damge by overdriving.
Get your screw and caps at OPC for peanuts.
Hope you are well !
Great to hear WUF is back.........................enjoy [:D]
