But how does the sunroof "lock" into the lifting arm to prevent it from blowing in the wind like mine? Perhaps you already answered this ("You are right about the "L" going up into the slots on the roof") and that my initial thought (it locks by having the L engage the sunroof by going left or right) but want to make sure you weren't talking about going up and down.
I'll figure this thing out yet! (with everybody's help!)

The "L" just moves fore and aft (though it is curved slightly, so it moves up while moving forward and down when moving aft). There is a ridge in the receiver part (the second picture in your second post) that the nub on the lifting arm rides in. When the roof is locked, the lifting arm is not retracted all the way, it is actually still slightly extended and it should be extended such that the nub is on the rubery part of the receiver in the roof.
The only time the lifting arms should be retracted fully is when you are removing the roof panel completely.

EDIT: It's a shame that you're in NC. If you were near Pittsburgh (where I'm currently in college) or in Ohio somewhere I would be more than happy to drop by and give you a hand.
As it is, I'll run down today and take some pictures of my roof's operation and post them for you. It will probably be 17:00 or later EST by the time I get them up on the web though.
