Default New 740 GLE stick...some qurstions...

Ok so i just bought for $700 a second volvo. Its a 86 740 GLE stick shift with ONLY 208,000 miles on her. She seems to run strong and i will be learning how to drive stick on it. It has some rust above the winshield but its not too bad, ill just seal it up with silacone to prevent leaks. The sunroof, which is a crank dosent work right, i moved it around today and saw that on the passenger side a peace of plastic has broke, it looks like it it the plastic that raises it and pushes the sun roof back. I can open the sunroof all the way as long as i help it a bit but i cant open the vent part. Do they sell replacement parts for the sunroof?

also

it looks like it has an air intake and also a hose that goes from the air intake box back to the manifold. my buddy said this was to better the emmisions. thats good the only problem is the tube or hose is not orginal. It looks like one of thoes flimsy exaust peices that bends and it was cut to fit. And it has split in half. I hope you know what im talking about because id like to know if they sell a replacement hose or somehting to go fro mthe air intake to the manafold. Thanks guys

The answers to both questions is Yes they do sell the parts you require.

Whether or not the sunroof parts will be in stock is debatable. The pipe from the air cleaner to the manifold you should be able to pick up at any accessory shop. Certainly my local shop stocks various lengths and diameters and they are comparable quality to the original but a lot less money.
