87 - Sunroof Hinge clip

[almostordinary]

Hey gang,

Going through and knocking out small annoyances w my 87 roller while I prep for an upcoming motor and g50.01 transplant.

The sunroof opens flawlessly but closing requires me to push the wind deflector down on the passenger side due to a broken Clip for Sunroof Air Deflector Hinge.

I bought two since I always replace things in pairs, but I can't figure out how to get it back on without disassembling the whole railing.

Hoping the front rail with two screws just needs to be pried up, but wanted to confirm before I really try to get it off.

I did this a while back too.

You should remove the front lower metal frame (base plate) that the hinge rests into (as shown in your pics - not necessarily easily installed) and make the base plate and the flap a single unit when reinstalling.

When I did mine, I had those side screws loosened to help move the guide arms around.
