My 951 uses a toothed cable to drive the sunroof mechanism. The motor is in the trunk, and a brass tube containing the cable runs up to the sunroof. There is a mounting flange on the tube that was welded (or is it brazed?) on, and it has broken free. Consequently, the tube just pushed away from the sunroof mechanism when to motor runs, rather than driving the gears to raise the roof.
