Not sure whether this will help, but there are some instructions here: //www.slidingragtops.com/Britax-Sunway-Installation-Instructions.html

It looks like the 2 side pieces in the photo that are diagonal should be the tracks for the roof to slide in.  If you will assemble it on the car and attach the the sunroof to the car at the rear, you should be able to twist the fabric part of the roof kinda diagonal and the little teflon/plastic pieces should fit into the slots easily, then twist the entire thing straight to make it square.  Hope this helps.

I have only worked on a Weathershield but I'm guessing very similar.

You are looking for side pieces that have tracks for the ends of the horizontal cross pieces to slide in...rear to front and front to rear.

I don't see them in your photos.

The Weathershield was located in the rear by several bolts (in short front/rear slots in the roof) so tension could be set.

Most common problem from my limited experience was the lost horizontal cross piece ends (nylon/plastic).  Without them the sliding roof will clatter since the horizontal ends are "loose" in the side tracks.

My roof has a rectangular steel frame which is the inside frame, two side pieces top (chrome), and a front piece which is covered in fabric.  The top bolts through the roof to the innerframe at the rear.  What I can't figure out is where the track is for the top to move back and forth.

I don't have any photos, but typically there is an inside piece of metal and a corresponding outside piece that screws together with the roof sandwiched inbetween.  The frame consists of only 3 sides...Left, Right, and Front.  The rear portion of the sunroof doesn't have an exterior frame but is screwed thru the roof with (I think) 4 screws.  Take photos of what pieces you have and I will try and point out which is which.
