Hello;  I have an 87 GL, which opens it's own sunroof.  The problem seems
to be that the crank handle has lost the detent ball that makes it want to
tuck into it's little recess in the roof.  I went to the nearest VW
wrecker, and found a golf sunroof handle, which had the detent ball and
spring, but the handle is too different to use, and the ball and spring
arrangement is totally different, so I am unable to use it.  Sunroof
Vanagons are very rare here (Vancouver Island), as I have not seen any
others at all.  Someone out there has the crank I need, or knows where I
can find it,  I'm sure.  so P-mail me, and help me keep my interior dry and
warm.                             Larry Carter
