Question about converting power sunroof to manual.

Hi Guys,
I just converted my sunroof from power to manual. However I am worried about the method i did it. The back latches stick out and are not flush to the sunroof. Below are pictures:

RedBaron

Any info on where to go to find out how to do this? I really want to do this on my one '87 as it has stripped gears and all I ever do with the sunroof is remove it anyways, never just lifted it up while it did work anyways. And the other 87 I just bought had stripped gears also, so I wasn't able to fix it like I wanted...

Hardtop Conversion

it seems that one member here simply cut the liner of the sunroof so that the latches would lay flush. see the last post.

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if it is possible that I could take a early 944 sunroof panel and switch is out with the one i currently have to make the latches stay down flush? An example would be something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Early-Porsche-944-Brown-Sunroof-Panel-924-S-Turbo-NR_W0QQitemZ160272139296QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item16 0272139296&_trkparms=39%3A1|65%3A1|240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

Thanks,
RedBaron
