Help Me Rhonda-moon Roof Cables Broken - Again!

[BRAKATK]

Hey all,

Well, after only 23k miles since I had it repaired, my moonroof won't close all the way again. The dealer says the actuator cables have broken (for the second time!!). The dealer says the warranty on the repair is 1 year/unlimited miles, so Lexus cannot repair it under warranty. They want to charge me...are you ready for it....$1200 to replace the cables. that is what I said. I asked if they could just lock it shut or somehow close it all the way and they said their technician tried and cannot. They suggested I use a block of wood or make a metal piece to hold the driver side up/shut (the passenger side is all the way up and shut). Any ideas other that coming up with $1200? Much appreciated.
