Hello,
I have recently bought a CL500 (215) and everything is fine apart from the sunroof.
It doesnt open completely, when trying to close it will only close half and from there one needs to hold down the button to get it closed. likewise it wont lift completely and wont go back down so its like a millimeter lifted. All of this is accompanied by a grinding noise and the dashboard constantly shows a open sunroof message. SPR in Stockport - great guys btw - have looked at it and advised the motor is completely corroded and the mechanism needs an overhaul. The quoted 2 1/2 grand. I managed to get a complete sunroof cassette with motor from germany for GBP126 which i think is a good deal. Does anyone here know a specialist who will do the job for a reasonable amount of money? How big is this job? Obviously the lining needs to be removed etc so a fair amount of work but what am i looking at?
Can anyone advise please? Thank you!
