I've been looking at the sad state of my car's roof, especially the sorry state of the sunroof. (See below)
So I've been thinking, I wanna remove the sunroof altogether. What I'd do, is as follows:
Remove headliner inside.
Remove sunroof tray and rails.
Cut roof around sunroof appeture...
my sunroof shade is sliding about when i brake heavy and accel. was looking for anythink obv last night and now the sunroof has starting operating in increments. i guess it's designed to protect the motor. what can i do to reset and have the automatic function retuned?
I have for sale an almost perfect complete sunroof mechanism to fit W124 cars.
It is the electric tilt 'n' slide type in perfect working order. There is no rust at all.
It came from a 1992 300e 24v but should fit most. I don't know if it will fit the estate though so please check first...
my headlining has seen better days so I set about taking it down (which I did without removing the rear view mirror etc as per the manual). Anyway I couldnt get the sunroof headlining panel off, it unclipped at the front but wouldnt pull out as described by the manual and others. With the...
I've just noticed that the rear sunroof on my 2000 v280 has seemingly shattered all by itself. I can only assume that it was frost damage as there was no foreign objects found - I did suspect a roof tile at first.
Anyway, does anyone have a spare sunroof lying around or can advise of...
The sunroof on my 1984 190E started to make a nasty mechanical noise when fully closed with the switch still pressed. Opens and closes perfectly (its an early 190 so the roof doesn't tilt) and theres no noise during closing or opening, only if you keep the button pressed or if you press it while...
The sunroof in my newly acquired 1994 W124 E220 estate doesn't work, dead as a dodo, not even a hint of a noise when operating the switch in any direction. Is the best course of action to replace the fuse, then the switch then the motor? Fuse is easy of course but the switch is trickier to get...
Hi, sunroof has stopped working on my W124 Estate, the motor is turning but nothing is budging.
Could it be the cable, if so does anyone know how to replace it, presume it goes up the c pillar from the boot and attaches to the mechanism somehow, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
First a belated happy new year to you all.
While you lot were having all that snow we have had monsoon like weather here and the car got left out in it for 3 or 4 days as we had a garage full of other stuff. Anyway, drove it for the first time for a while on Saturday and immediately me and the...
Since I picked up my first copy of Exchange and Mart over forty years ago, (price 6d), I thought I’d kept fairly abreast of most silver linings to talk-up a down-side, but this is a first:
Taken from this ebay listing, I’ve never seen …… very rare with no sunroof giving plenty of headroom...
Hi can anyone help with suggestions on how to replace sunroof mechanism i believe this is what i need to replace as i have just recently bought this car and no nothing about mercades but my sunroof is tilted down at the back and will not go up down or even open or close but you can hear the...
The sunroof doesn't respond to the dash switch. Can't hear the motor trying to operate. All fuses are ok under the bonnet. I am going to try the manual (red plastic nut thingy) in the boot but before I go in with all tools blazing has anyone been here before? Tips welcomed. cheers.
I have a 1990 W126 coupe with electric tilt-and-slide sunroof, but I think this question applies to all MB sunroofs. To avoid expensive problems when the roof jams, it is said that regular lubrication is vital. But it's often overlooked. What lubricant should be used?
Browsing the forums (esp...

Hi all

Ive just taken the car for new discs,pads and an A service but my indies too busy...

Hi All, I am new to this forum and need your help !
I have a 2001 Mercedes C Class (203) 320 Avantgard that has developed a problem with the lights & sunroof!
How it started was the battery kept going flat due to the fact that the car is fitted with a Tracker and is only used at weekends.

Hello,
My W126 Sunroof seal is very dry and has come loose in one corner and it also stops the roof from the tilt position. Is there a sealant to fix the rubber back in place and what can I use to clean it.
Is it cheaper to get a new seal, my current one is pretty dry but its not got to...
