Oh, I think I have a spare in my basement. Want me to box it up for you? I'm in Canada though, so it might take a bit to ship. Week and a half usually.

I think I am developing the same problem. I hear a ticking like a gear slipping when I use the sunroof.
Do you still have the spare?
Is it a difficult job to get at it?
