my 87 300e has a broken sunroof. the cables are fine, the arms inside actuate. the only problem I see are these 1" plastic hinges are broken. how would I go about dissembling?
I'm not sure what I'm looking at so I cannot describe the problem that well.
your comments and questions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Adam

To do any sunroof repairs the roof panel must be removed! The first part that must come out is the headliner. Not a DIYer in most cases. Many MB shops struggle with this repair. Try looking in the W124 chassis CD for work instructions.

I have a similar problem. Dealer quoted me close to 2 grand adn wanted a week to do it. I priced all the parts myself at close to $900. When I can save up I will let the dealer handle the headache of it all. It seems like very complicated and tedious work. Definitely not a weekend project.

I see that the US models get the same roof systems as we have! The plastic parts in these sunroofs break a lot.
Adam, the W124 sunroofs are difficult to (dis)assemble...
The sunroofs in the later W202 and W210 are a lot easier to work on; the electrical versions in the W124 and later W201 are terrible; I would not try to repair them myself if I did not know exactly what to do...
