I assume all E39s have it in the same location but just in case I'm asking
about a '97 540i 6-speed specifically. I want to get the Bosch part number off
of mine.

I can't post from gmail and I hardly ever check my yahoo account.

I had a problem a couple months ago with my sunroof being stuck open. I used
the manual method and after trying to turn it the wrong way(doh!), go it
closed. My son forgot that it couldn't be opened all the way or it would get
stuck. This time the hex key in the motor isn't working. It wouldn't budge.
In fact I put a 4mm hex socket in there trying for more leverage and it
snapped! I'll figure out how to get the socket end out, but in the meantime,
does anyone have suggestions on how to get it closed? Can I bypass the sensors
that won't let the motor work at full open? In the past if I could move it a
couple inches with the wrench, the motor would do the job to get it closed the
rest of the way. Maybe the track or cables need lubrication?
Thanks,
