e-class 210
 

HEY EVERYBODY! WORKING ON A CAR THIS MORNING. ITS A 210 E50, VERY NICE TO DRIVE. PROBLEM IS THE SUNROOF ONLY GOES BACK HALF WAY......HAS ANYONE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE? ROOF LINKAGES OR CABLES? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

Has it been properly lubed with the MB sunroof lube, known as Gleitpaste. Cost in the States is $55-$60 for a 1kg can (or is it 1 lb???), expensive but the can lasts forever.

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING. YEAH WE HAVE TRIED GREASING IT UP WITH THE APPROPRIATE GREASE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE CABLES ARE POPPING OUT WHEN THE ROOF IS ON THE WAY BACK.

Does it only go halfway back with the express function or is it when operating the roof manually as well?

Mercedes has redesigned the sunroof cover plates located on each side of the sunroof guides (where the cable is popping out) which is secured with two screws instead of one. I replaced mine and the sunroof works like new.

The Mercedes part # is 2107840456, you will need two and the total cost should be under $5 US.

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING EVERYONE THE CAR IS SORTED NOW I BOUGHT THE MODIFIED PLATES AND ITS WORKED A TREAT. MANY THANKS
