Sunroofs

[redegg]

Two questions regarding sunroofs.

1. Where can I get replacement glass for the forward sunroof? Mine is cracked pretty badly.

2. My rear sunroof won't open. When I press the button to open it i hear a motor turning but nothing budges. I havent dug into it much yet, but does anyone have any tips or tricks I should be aware of before I get started?

ToyoDIY says its still available, p/n 63201-95D00, for example here (https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~glass~sub~assy~tilt~roof~63201-95D00.html). (ToyoDIY says it should be available <$300, so you may find it cheaper than that link, which was the first of many that popped up in search. Also: note that is just the glass assembly; it does not include the handle (~$60) or related bits that you may need.)

Broken drive cables. They come as an assembly, p/n 63803-95D00, for example here (https://www.toyotapartsdirect.ca/p/Toyota_1996_Previa/CABLE-SUB-ASSEMBLY--REAR-SLIDE-ROOF-DRIVE-CABLE-ROOF/47750458/6380395D00.html). That is ~CA$1300. Again, ToyoDIY has a lower estimate, but I don't have much confidence that you could actually find it for much less. Cables are less available than glass parts, because they wear. My Previa's broke at ~25 years. (I had to replace the cables on my Camry even sooner, ~20 years.)
