But, on my 190D, no amount of pushing causes the deflector to stay up. It drops back down right away. Is this a simple spring replacement? Or something more drastic?
Take a look at this link: http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/W123SunRoofSprings. Did this on my W201, and it worked great. I found that the springs were OK but the (2) plastic slide supports were broken.
