I posted this in a forum that sees more FWD action, but haven't had any response. Maybe more luck here.

Daughter's 2001 S40. I wasn't there when it happened.

Last night the bar that is glued to the underside-front of the sunroof came off. It appears that all this bar does is pull the shade back when the roof is slid open. She says it made a huge "snap" noise when it happened. I don't know if the "snap" was the bar coming unglued or the shade somehow disconnecting from something. Looking at the bar, it is apparent that roughly only half (the left side) had any adhesive holding onto the glass.

The problem is that the roof would not fully close. It was getting jammed up against the shade at the front.

Does anyone know how to reinstall the shade? I was able to remove it easy enough so at least the roof will close properly, and I guess I could leave it that way, but it would be nice to have the shade back in.

Thanks for any help.
