These things are like $140 on FCP Euro now!!! If you've ever had to remove your sunroof motor cover, you've likely had clips flying all over the place. I tried to repair mine several times. It didn't work. This one fits a coupe. It's a snug fit and mounts only at the front and rear - I couldn't get side clips to work, they just broke off like the regular e36 one did. This can easily be wrapped with fabric like the original one as well. I think different body styles may have different covers, so it may not work on a vert or a sedan. 2 versions are uploaded - one with a hole for the switch, one without. My sunroof is absolutely busted, so the pictured version is the "without switch" one. Print flat side down. Support only on the lip overhang. PETG or other higher heat filament recommended, last time I did a car part in PLA it melted.
