Sunroof seal and headliner problems...
Ok my sunroof is pretty much together, I have replaced everything except the motor and cable!
![]() I replaced the sunroof seal with an OE one last March. It never fit right and was always real tight up against the panal, to the point it stopped working. Today I ran into the problem as well, if I remove the seal the sunroof works perfectly. With the seal in place it gets hung up. ![]() The seal should be the right one I purchased it from the dealer and those guys are pretty good. I will dig the part number out of my records and post it. But I think it is the right seal. Secondly I havn't put the headliner in yet, are their any tricks that I should know about? It seems pretty straight forward. I am talking about the SDL in my sig, thanks.

It may be a common problem...
My car was painted ans the sunroof seal was replaced. I have the same symptoms you have. I have not found a solutions yet and if you do, please let me know...
Good luck!

Well I am still stumped. I am going to lube the gasket with some sunroof grease. It isn't the best solution but it is the only one I can think of at the moment.

I replaced the seal in our 400E when we painted it last summer and it is just now starting to work correctly, so that I don't have to pound on it to fully close it when I tilt the back up. I don't know what the trick is when they do it at the factory. I used a lot of tire lube to put it in and it always worked, but needed a little prodding to shut completely.
