This site is very useful - thanks to all that contribute. I took the advice posted here for the C class. I recently recovered the sun roof shade as mine mealed up as well. I used split deer skin and it looks wonderful. To get it out of the S430 open the sun roof all the way with the glass all the way back into the roof and from the outside, lift it out. Installation is the reverse. piece of cake.
