W140, replace sliding roof with sun roof?

Since I don't have anything else on my W140 to spend money on (just kidding) I have a little project.

I have the sliding roof in metal and I would like to replace it with the sliding sun roof in glass.

I remember reading this was possible, but do anyone have any more info about this? Do I have to change the inner ceiling?

I have access to a W140 with sun roof for parts.

Thanks!

One of the other techs in our shop just did this. You'll need all of the parts from the donor car as the glass roof has it's own "tray" and doesn't simply interchange. So basicly the headliner comes down and most everything has to be swapped. From what I saw watching him do it, it's not very easy but if you take your time and pay careful attention to how it comes apart it is do-able.

Thanks, great info!

And I just want to make sure, you can slide and tilt the sun roof in glass too, can't you?
