    So I just got another Grand Prix. It's a 98 Daytona 500 pace car edition. I know it's not factory since the switch and the sunshade are different. Plus the car dose not have RPO CF5. I have some pictures to help ID it. The problem I am having is the sunroof won't work. Makes a ticking sound most of the time. I did get it to open to vent once. Then had to help push it down to close it. Haven't dropped the headliner to have a look because it is part of the sunroof. I take it out. I might not be able to put what's left of it back in. Its not all one board.

    Just updating the thread. After it getting stuck in the vent position. My mechanic took the motor out to get it down. Found the transmission plastic gears have stripped. After doing a few hours of research with the motor manufacturer name and part number. I found out it is a Webasto hollandia super tvs sunroof used during 1997-2002. It was used by dealers a lot since there was restrictions on getting sunroofs from the factory back then from what I read. I actual found a replacement rebuilt motor and transmission that is upgraded with metal gears at http://www.sunroofdoctor.com. Also found the sunshade handle too! Should have a working sunroof this week sometime.

    Update number 2. Parts came in the mail today. Installed the motor and the sunroof works like a charm. Got the parts from sunrofdoctor.com if anyone is needing them.
