The 1987 models had no convenience relay, of course. I looked at "window close" but that would have required a 4-pole relay and a lot of wiring. I rarely used the sunroof close feature anyway, it was more an interesting technical challenge.

Pictures show the keyless entry electronics under the passenger seat of the '87 300D and two pictures of the relay added in the trunk to close the sunroof.
