My S80 Got Broken Into, Need Several Repair Parts Asap!

Well, I was on my way home from work the other day around 7:30 P.M., and I had to stop at Wal-Mart to go and get a few things I was short on before I headed for home.

I'm a freak when it comes to my car, and I always park it under a tree away from the parking lot, usually in a secluded area. I accidentally left my iPod out and didn't bother to pull out the faceplate on my kenwood deck. Now my car I'll admit flashes out "LOOK AT ME" with it's shiny aftermarket wheels, my modded front to back sound system and the throaty exhaust. People notice it when I drive it around. Well, I think that very fact bit me in the butt.

Anyways, I went in for about 30 minutes. When I get back to my car, I nearly scream.

Whoever tried to break into it was long gone, there were no witnesses, and oddly enough they didn't take anything (I suspect mabye whoever did it made some racket and freaked out and ran).

This is the list of what was damaged and I need, either used or whatever:

1.) Someone, somehow pryed off/broke to pieces, the arms on my sunroof assembly. They did not break the glass or the shade, which suspects me that whoever did it knew what they were doing. But both arms are beyond repair. Both are seized and permanently bent out of shape. When I got to the car, I found the shade and the sunroof lying in the driver's seat intact. But inspecting the sunroof itself when I got home, the tracks are destroyed, there are pieces of the plastic gears for the shade lodged in the tracks, and literally parts of it ripped clean off. It will never operate again. So, at the moment, I am driving around a car with no glass. Just a gaping hole from the sunroof. The dealer wants over 1k just for the asembly, but I'm a college student with a part time job making minimum wage. I can't afford a new unit.

2.) My grille was damaged up pretty good as well. Looks like someone tried to break it off to see if they could force the hood latch open...but I have no idea.

3.) This is unrelated to the break-in...but both of my driver and passenger headlight AND trun signal light assemblies have severe cracks from an incident behind a gravel truck on the highway. Need good used units to replace them with. I also need a set of non-cracked foglights if anybody has any to spare.

Thanks so much!

If you have any of this stuff, shoot me a price at bryan67gto@aol.com

or, leave a message on my cell phone 661-839-6501. I usually don't answer my phone until after 6 because I can't pick it u[ at work. So if you call earlier, just leave a message.

and again, thanks! ;)
