Metal Sunroof gear

If there was, we wouldn't have companies like odometergears.com, and sunroofgears.com in business for us. Nobody makes metal gears for our cars.. period.


Be my guest to do so, though, and I will buy the first 10!
 
I have one for sale from sunroofgears.com, I paid about $55 for it...Selling for $40 with shipping...Thx
 
That's exactly what he said.

The OP wanted a METAL gear.. Todras pointed out that it wouldn't work well with all the OTHER parts being plastic.
 
I also asked the guys from sunroofgears.com if they produced a metal gear because I purchased on their gears and it stripped out after only a week of use, fortunately they gave me a new gear and told me to loosend the motor bolts and put a wedge between the motor and the gear body to force the gears to mesh and re-tighten the motor mount bolts. I did that and I haven't had any problem since but then again it's only been about three months so we will see what time and use brings me, I am hoping that it will be a permanent fix but I am not holding my breath.
 
There was an attempt a while back to machine some metal gears, but the designer/fabricator (can't remember who) said it was too difficult to accurately machine gears with such small teeth. That pretty much killed the discussion at the time, but I think there would definitely be a small market around here if someone could overcome the problems.
 
I purchased 2 gears from sunroofgears, one for the sunroof and one to have extra just in case....Its has been about 9 months and still no problems with the gear...
