Sunroof California roof part help

[Artm635]

Ok, I have a 96 bmwti, with the big sunroof that slides back, when I go to close it, it closes but does not seal completely, I noticed that there are 2 clip looking things attached to what looks like a rubber guide inside of the railing on the actual roof that looks like its is supposed to attach to 2 wheel guides on either side and pull it shut, we'll the clips that look like they are supposed to attach to the wheel guides look broken and I'm almost positive that's what it needs to seal but not sure has anyone replaced this part or know how to fix it? Thank you

Hey there! What do you know? I'm trying to find and fix the same part... Poor exploded diagrams and BMWNA lack of interest have me grounded!!

Thanks Mal!
Does anyone have a decent photo of the left and/or right slider in the frame track that couples to the guides fastened to the flexible folding top? The first post described exactly what we're both looking for... I believe that the slider had lobes that were the connecting points but since mine are broken I can't even show BMWNA what the part should look like. Local parts guys says that they will forward a clear photo up the supply chain to determine what the p/n of those L/R pieces are...maybe they're tiring of this search as well!!!
