124 Sun Roof Cable Replacment Question? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Thanks for the info.
I've got the headliner cover off the sunroof itself and disconnected the cable attachment to the roof after getting the headliner panel off, just so I could open and close it by hand.
The roof was binding pretty good prior to the cable breaking and I have seen some info here on that, but nothing detailed enough so I can use it to replace the cable and fix whatever else needs attention.
I've been searching for a thread here that explains the step-by-step replacement of the cable and can't find one. Can you point me in the right direction?

You have done the hard part now you have to approach the other end which is the sunroof motor inside the left panel of the trunk (near the antenna motor). So far you have not stated if the sunroof motor runs or not so lets start from there.
