Oh yeah that was a fun repair! That grease is cheap compared to all those parts! After spending $600 to replace 90% of the parts up there, my dad gave me a hard time for getting the MB grease. I was like I just spent $600 freaken bucks I'll grease it with whatever MB tells me to use!

I hope to say,my point exactly.Though I did score mine for much less but still,how cheep is the grease when you look at the parts? So the time it takes to clean the system,Saturday might be a good day!

Rusty sells more then enough grease to lube an entire dry sunroof for $10. Give him a call for one of his tins. Less is more, it just attracts dirt.

I did my entire sunroof which was new so totaly dry, and I still have over half a tin left.

don't feel alone.this happens to 90% of the 86-91 126 bodies out there.it's about a 4 hr fix if you have the parts and have never done it before.one word of warning make sure that before you tighten up the bolts to the roof panel that you use some kind of reasonably accurate way to make sure that the gaps on either side are equal.this will save you many bad words.
