Thanks Kim

* * It's not that bad anyway! I said i wasn't going to even try to open that sunroof last night - but Rick came round to test the alternator and made me.. and guess what!! there's nothing wrong with it except it had got a cap off a water bottle or something stuck in the runners - and was propping it up like that!!

Not bent after all!

How did that get in there! Sticky, is this one of your tricks! Lol - just kidding!

There were a few rust bubbles round the sunroof when I had it. I think the drain holes around the sunroof end must be blocked, bad design.

PON, i have no idea how it got in there!

Keith, you kept the rest of the car like new - taking the bumpers off and jetting the underside after it had been on a salted road. The only bit that's rusty is the roof

Had it looked at a while back by my trusted bodyshop owner, whose had several RST's and he wasn't concerned about it, due to it's location and that it hadn't changed in 2 years

Will have it done before autumn tho
