Out of silly curiosity, were all your bushings worn, or just on one side like mine?

Yup. Front passenger side. Interesting. The rear sunroof still has the original clips and works fine. I do actually use my sunroofs often during the spring/summer/fall months. I very much enjoy them. So that was a must fix. I think these clips can break easily if your roof is open and your going over some rough terrain.

I think the rubber o-rings are actually a better replacement, as they absorb the shock better than brittle plastic. Just make sure they are lubed up well and watch them glide on the track a few times to make sure they are properly seated around that stub thingimijig...

Glad to hear it has worked for you as well!
