Default Sunroof repair cost

The sunroof on my 98 monte carlo z34 needs repair. It is stuck on one side and it looks like the arm is broke on it. Does anyone know how much that should cost to fix?

Also, I need new seats for the car (preferably leather). They are ripped up and the underlying cushion is in bad shape. I am having a hard time finding new seats. Ive called just about every salvage yard in MN and cannot find any in good shape. The dealership no longer has any for my car being that it is getting old. Any ideas where to find some?

For the sunroof, you can try and find one from the junkyard, but I have no idea how much that would cost to get fixed, your best bet is probably getting a quote.

As far as seats go, that's probably going to also be from the yard, so keep your eyes open.

Where are you located? I know of some seats around here but shipping probably wouldn't be worth it

Another thought on the seats is take them to an interior shop and have them re stuffed and upholstered

As for the sunroof I agree with Mitch, Get a quote. You should have an aftermarket accessories store that installs sunroof's. Maybe if it is to expensive to repair they can replace it with a new one. A Manual one would be the cheapest. As for the seats try looking for seats from other cars of that year like the grand prix or impala and do a custom install.

Itll be over $150+ for the sunroof assembly without glass, even more with the glass

around there maybe, it's hard to give price quotes if you're not selling the item, because there's always the odd ball that gets lower or higher, or if you're considering used items it's quite a bit cheaper.
