<---- Don't have any experience.  Just a thought.  If the gear is plastic, you may have some luck with 3D printing.  Something else I heard about is baking the PLA after printing for strength.

If you are in SoCal and don't mind picking it up (I won't ship) I can sell you a whole sunroof from a 04 (or also have an 05) Cooper.

As far as we can tell, there are no serviceable parts on the 2004 sunroof other than the sunroof motor...   

Unfortunately, we do not have any information on replacing the gear....
