300E sunroof cable install fine tuning
Hi Everyone,
\The sunroof cable in my 86' 300E was badly mangled so I followed the procedures I found on this website and installed a new sunroof cable. I then fine tuned the motor so the sunroof panel sat perfectly flat with the roof. My problem is when I push the button to lift the sunroof- it just keeps lifting and does not stop at which point the cable actually pops out of the guide rail (which looks to be what caused the problem with the sunroof cable in the first place!). Does anyone know what I adjust or replace to "tell" the motor to dissengage at the appropiate time and stop lifting the sunroof? Maybe I am doing something wrong... Thanks everyone! Jerry

I am working on a similiar but different problem. I used the following information: ***************** If the roof doesn't stop in the correct position, you will need to adjust the motor in the trunk. You will need a 3 mm allen key (or other 3mm wire). Close roof. Pull white knob out and try to fit wire through the hole next to it (about 8 o'clock, I think). Turn knob until wire fits, then check on the roof rails (headliner out) to see that the index mark on the lifting angles is between the two marks on the rail. If not, remove allen key, set the mark on the angle between the marks on the rail (they may be opposite), then turn knob to allow you to insert the allen key in the hole. Push knob all the way back in. This should set motor to run the roof closed using the switch back and forth -- full open is an overrunning clutch, full closed is a microswitch in the motor (that you just set). Full open lift is an overruuning clutch. Operate roof through open, close, tilt, close cycle several times. If you don't have the panel far enough forward, it will bind on the rear edge on closing/tilting. When you get it working correctly, check fit, adjust as necessary. **************** This was supplied by psfred from this thread Haasman
