Ok, I found a handful of links from people who have done this. Seems like the Scorpio unit is not a motorized direct replacement for the XR. Well yes and no... The length of the splined shaft on the Scorpio assembly is different than the XR so its not as easy as just sticking a Scorpio power sunroo...
