I took one of mine off and shampooed it.  I'm going to try to trim it and glue it back on.

There is a switch on the track of the moonroof with 3 wires. Mine has been repaired by someone previously but is a mess and doesn't work. I am assuming it is for telling the motor where the closed position is on the glass. Mine doesn't stop on it's own, I have to fiddle with the switch in the car to get it to close tight. I am thinking this is why. If someone would be so kind as to snap a pic of theirs so I know what wire goes where to repair mine, that would be spectacular. Thanks

Ah now I see this thread. Can't believe all these months I had no idea it was this car. What a trip I had going to look at this thing!

i don't think the tgps have a self home, mine doesn't self home either but there is a loud click that i assume is the proper position for the sunroof when closed.

The switch is to self home.  I got a reply on the W-Body forum about it.  Perhaps your switch is broken too.

Did a few more things.  I fixed the brake light switch.  Now my brakes lights go off without pulling up on the pedal.  Re-bled the PMIII, seems to be working ok.  Although I don't think it's 100%.  Refinished 1 wheel so far.  A little progress here and there.  I also fixed the leaky fuel tank.  That was fun.  Next thing to be done is to remove the turbo to have 2 broken down pipe bolts machined out.
