That sounds like something I would like to try after first seeing a W124 sunroof in action. Having never seen one work, I'd rather not mess around blind and make it worse. At least it doesn't leak in its present condition.

In any case, it sounds like you're saying that removing the headliner is an important first step? What's next?
