Sunroof all of sudden doesn't close
My sunroof on one side of my car does not close all the way all of a sudden. It was working perfectly, however does not close all the way on one side now. I cannot use the tilt up part because of this.
Could this be a simple adjustment or is a broken part? Any ideas?

"Lifting Arms" I believe the part is called
IF, Cleaning and the Gleitpaste does not "Fix" it.
GSXR has a Tutorial AND Pictures. http://www.w124performance.com/images/W124_sunroof/ BUT,BUT,BUT...You Want to "Study Up" on Mercedes Sunroof Repair, A LOT! A Dealer R.O. that has the word SunRoof on it STARTS at $1,000.00 USD.

Two Jobs
Guaranteed needed on most Old W124s:
1.Sunroof Cleaned and Lubed. [AND the Cable and Tube (Yuck!) ] 2.Mono Wiper Gearing and Sliding Tubes cleaned and lubed. [Bonus 5 minute Job ANY Bright Saturday ,Clean and Lube the Antenna Mast.] No One Ever alluded to Mercedes Ownership Being "FUN". 'More like a couple of High Maintenance Wives. (Who,When Bored,Screw with your Karma for their Fun.)

I'd say that hardly anythng is "simple" in that sunroof. I've worked on MBs for 15 years and I cringe whenever I get an early sunroof to repair. In fact the fuse has been out of my 124's sunroof from the day I bought the car. Unrelated, I pulled the fuse for the rear windows as well.
At the indie shop, we tell people that if you don't have $800 to spend we're not gonna touch it.

It's really not that complicated once the sunroof headliner is out... quite easy to remove everything.
I had to "gut" mine coz both sides of the mechanism decided to disintegrate... jeez. I'm temporarily reinstalling the sunroof and using what's left of the two rails just to fasten the metal roof to the opening. Off to find both the left and right tilt/slide mechanisms... anybody got any leads? used or otherwise will do. Thanks
