The pictured plastic bracket for the sun shade broke. I'm told it's attached to a "sunroof cable."
I see the search term you used in your duck duck go link is "how to replace ford edge sunroof shade" and while infinite results are displayed, none of them are actually for replacing this cable. If you can direct me to something specific relating to my issue, I'd appreciate it.
New searches for "sunroof cable" do not reveal anything useful in or outside of this forum. The lack of info available on this leads me to believe it rarely breaks, or everyone lets the dealer fix it, or it's so easy to replace that nobody bothers mentioning it.
It's looking like I'll need to drop the headliner, begin removing anything below the cable, and figure out how to get the new cable aligned with the other cable so they're in sync and don't pull the shade unevenly.
I'll consider posting the fix in the forum once I'm done.
