My 2000 contour also has the original gear (knocks on wood) and gets regular use. I wonder why this happens to some and not others? I wonder if Bill Jenkins knows if another model would fit. I agree though it would fustrate the hell out of me too.
My parents had a problem with the factory sunroof on thier lincoln ls and the dealer subbs out sunroof and audio stuff even factory installed and it still binds up on the track at times even after 3 visits. They are fighting with lincoln to replace the whole sunroof.
