Post Sunroof Parts?

I am in the process of putting back together my sunroof on a 1973 911. I have installed new rails and cables. However, it appears that my sunroof lacks the appropriate "skids" for the rear of the sunroof, as the rear portion does not "lift" to the right height upon closing. Does anyone have a picture of the necessary skids, or know where I can buy them?

I have purchased and installed the clear plastic skids that are attached to the sunroof. Are the rear skids similar to these items? Thanks for the help!

I have heard that Stoddards has all the sunroof parts needed.

Where did you get the skids for the sunroof?

Stoddard I believe. Maybe I just don't have something put together correctly. The back of my sunroof is really low, even though it has the clear plastic skids.

The front, right side of the sunroof is sitting higher than normal as well, but that can be easily fixed by adjustment of the height "bolts."

There is a heighth adjustment for the back also. It's where the cable attaches to the sunroof.

You can see it in this pic. You loosen the bolt, and slide the bracket up on that racheted piece, and then tighten it down.
