Osio, that's Cherokee for hello, I'm not Cherokee but the wife is. Anyhow as is obvious, I'm new to the group but have been here before as a reader. So here's my deal, I've been working on restoring this SSEi now for a few years, had to take a break due to health and income issues. Working at finishing replacing all the window regulators, still need the 2 back door parts, done a fair amount to the engine as in the standard performance upgrades, more coming, cam swap to ZZP VS-RPM, headers, larger piping, Intercooler ASAP, adding Falken Radials-half way there, getting front windshield after the 1st, got rear earlier this month, needing some paint work asap, replaced front left fender due to rust not long ago, replaced some of the lower molding trim when doing fender. So all other things out of the way, this car is a work in progress and coming along and now I am trying desperately to track down either a working sunroof frame, or find parts I can use to repair mine. I'm a retired mechanic but this is not anything I have gone into but that's not bothering me right now. I'm sure with the parts needed, I can get through this with some pop rivets and care along with those parts I'm looking for. I'm sure this will take more than 1 donner frame but if I can find someone that has frames that don't work, or working, I could collect enough pieces to build a working assembly that could be used to get another sunroof but in operation for whomever is needing one. Not sure how all this forum stuff works as I'm an old guy now with limited computer skills. I will try to keep this open so I can see if any responses get posted. In the mean time, I'm still searching the internet for parts by contacting salvage yards but these cars are old enough now it's getting harder all the time to find useable pieces. There are a couple of yards in the city near me which is Rapid City,S.D. and they have a few, not many cars, I have to go back up there soon and look for whatever I can find and see if I can find the parts I need and try to make a deal with them on building a working frame. Hope I hear from some soon. Almost forgot, I tried to send a message to whomever is, was running the parts through here but my message came back as address not found, so does anyone have an update of them?
