I'm doing an interest check on sunroof gear replacements. Since Ford only sells the entire motor assmbly and many have sought just the gear I've got access to a manufacturer of plastic parts to make replacements. Tooling costs will be an issue and will directly impact the individual cost of the parts. An order of 100-200 pieces at a minimum would be needed to even make this more cost effective than replacing the whole motor. Rough estimate on price at 100 pieces is around $60-70 and probably close to half of that for 200 pieces. Obvisouly if this goes over big and we get more pieces sold then the price drops even more. Post here if you're interested and the quantity you'd be interested in. This would be a pre-pay group buy with funds being sent to me and then the part would be manufactured paid for and sent out by me (Buckshot Motorsports). I'll be sending the part out this week to get a better cost estimate.
Thanks,

IIRC Qbert found the part numbers for the just the gear assembly and the prices were relatively cheap, though I'm not sure if he ever did get around to ordering them or not. If you do a search in the General forum you should be able to find out more info about his search. Not trying to ruin your GB, just passing along some info to make your life easier

Yeah, it was the wrong part number though...it was for the other gear in the assembly. The nylon gear that strips is concidered part of the motor, not the gear assembly.

Would it be possible to investigate the costs for having the gears made of brass? Replacing plastic for plastic doesn't seem to make sense.
Regards,

Brass, would be even more expensive than the plastic and with the limited quantities we're thinking of producing it would be more expensive than the motor assembly.

I'm very concerned about weight and c of g, can we get them in titanium or magnesium?

Interested even though I've got a brand new motor on shelf...it's only a matter of time isn't it?
