Basically need a whole sunroof/mech for my 360. Mines destroyed itself and has been judged unfixable due to destroyed springs.
All things considered, cash waiting, collection or delivery within the next two weeks.
Would be saving the day. Thanks guys!

I know it says "don't ask why" in the title, but like big red buttons with "do not press" next to them, well, I now have to ask: how did it just destroy itself?
I mean, it's an inanimate object and as far as I know, unable to commit sunroof suicide.

There you are wrong; if mistreated they will behave like hells fury

and commit sunroof suicide just for the fun of it. I know of several ones that decided to part with the car while on the road...
Getting serious again, usual damage due to misalignment is scraping of the paint or when one damages/misaligns the internals the whole things locks up/breaks off.

Now you know why I avoid cars with holes in the roof if I can - too much hassle and best kept shut.
I notice you saying *IF* mistreated, RJ. Now I'm curious to know how the mistreatment occurred.

Well I can only assume mine was vandelised. Left the vent open for a short time, came back to the car and found it full of rubbish. Im guessing they forced it open to do this. So, the next time I tried to use it it went at all stupid angles and shit itself.
Not a happy chappy.

Sorry to hear this. No assumption required, it
was sheer vandalism.
Good luck with finding one, and I'll keep my eyes peeled for a spare.

Foggy's once left the car at speed...
The bits are *very* difficult to source. I guess your white moving brackets on the spring things have snapped? (yes, I know a diagram would be useful at this point, but I have no access to one)

An original Volvo sunroof will fit.
As long as you change a metal version for a metal version or change a glass version for an identical glass version.
You will need to fit and adjust it properly however.
