Right now, I unscrewed that bolt, put it back together and tightened the bolt down again so the sunroof will close. Looks like I can take off that little side support thingy and get a new one? Ideas on the cost?

Sunroof wind support broken
Seems the windshield support for the sunroof broke today.

I have 3 turbo legacy's. I had been driving one for quite a while, then switched to the 2nd car. Opened the sunroof, notice it had that shield, and didnt remember seeing it on the other car. Yep. It was gone. I think it was there when i bought the car, and one day i thought i heard something fly off the car.
Got mine at the junkard for 5 bucks.

I just put a washer under the nut to hold down the support.
It worked well. I believe I used a washer I used with 8mm bolts.

When mine broke, I just removed the whole wind blocker flapper thing. Pretty pointless if you ask me.

Re: Sunroof wind support broken
Yaaaaay.... this is exactly what was wrong with my windshield. Did the same thing too. Just removed it and drive around without it - while I try to fix the other part. Sooo happy that I found this
