So yesterday, I decided to open the sunroof on my '98 E300 for the first time since I have owned it (1+ year) and sure enough it got halfway back and stopped.

After reading this thread I was ready to order two new cover pieces described here but after examining my car it was clear mine already had the new covers with provision for 2 screws in each but the KNUCKLEHEADS at the last dealership who replaced them only USED one in each. I put two self tapping screws in and the roof works great!

So, once again a big THANKS to this board for saving me the time it would take to debug this problem myself.

And curses once again to the last stealership tech who saved himself 2 minutes by using only 1 screw in each of the covers! The thieves probably charged the PO $1,000 for the last repairs which is typical anytime you have trouble with these!
