Headliner and sunroof work

My headliner and Sunroof are in desperate need of serious attention.

The previous owner of my 220s put up a cheap cloth headliner which covers up the unsealed sunroof. I want to properly seal the pullback sunroof and put up a perforated leather (or fake leather) headliner. Are there kits available? Is this something I can do myself or for the cost is it worth taking it to a shop (or Mexico)?

The rare manual Heckflosse sunroof is work of art....... have you probed beyond cloth cover to see if sunroof itself has headliner intact? Maybe you can get lucky and carefully cut open the bogus cloth repair job - leaving enough material to tuck, glue and crimp along edges of exposed sliding sunroof opening.

Otherwise you gotta be out of your mind...... DIY headliner?? It sounds like messing about with stays that hold in place and using specialized tools and technique to tuck and crimp headliner edges after removing fragile fabric door opening weather strips that will probably get destroyed in the process.

Parts = new MB headliner for Heckflosse sunroof car, stays and edge weather strips........ but how much can it cost - maybe $300 + labor?

d-dog,

thanks for the advice...

I just wasn't sure if I would be saving any significant $$$ by doing it myself.
