Yes, That flat retaining lever will swing around toward the center of the roof and you will have better access to it. |

| That nut is use to lock the position of the adjustable pin that fits into the sunroof fitting and - in conjunction with an adjustment screw at the end of the flipper - allows the that pin to move up or down - thereby adjusting the rear sunroof panel height. If you don't have that lock nut on one of the pins (check for the presence of the adjusting screw as well), that could play a role in your sunroof alignment probems. |

| The pin height adjustment is made with the screw at the end (top) of the flipper, with the nut tightened down to hold that adjustment in place. |

| The sunroof is not water tight, Water will get in and the drain tubes will keep it from comming in the car. |
