[quote=Mister Byrnzoil;1547234]what a great read! nice pics. the best part is that I have an 80 parts car w/ a manual sunroof
Questions. the 'ramps' don't release when the tack weld is cut? is it trapped under the rail mount and must also be cut free?... just wondering if a cordless drill will suffice @ the JY. (BTW my JY does not allow cameras) thanks!! The Don... how bout deleting your ill-timed post?[/quote They are spot welded on and you need to drill out the spot welds. If you look closely you can see the spot welds. I used a 3/16th drill bit.

How about removing the complete sunroof assembly.
If you have a part car shouldn't that be a way more straight forward procedure? BTW the procedure also works for the W116, although the parts are not interchangeable with the W123. Not sure about the W114/115... Finally the best source for the manual sunroofs are Eurocars, early 240D and all 300TD.

Getting it out would be easy but getting the 22+ year old headliner back on straight, that's the hard part. |

No problem. I still need the ramps and and felts.
I'll probably just make the ramps myself from some scrap steel strips at work. |

I'm still on the look out for all the parts needed
I noticed on the part "No return" why didnt you just use a pipe cutter and remove the pipe in a clean fashion.. so in the future if you want a power sun roof all you need to do is braise on a slightly larger ID pipe and go with it |

Are you parts sellers getting this?
Put together a parts kit and they will sell. I like the idea of this. My Euro car has a manual sun roof and after using it I had to wonder why they ever built an electric sunroof in the first place. This is an example of the transition of MB from a manufacturer of fine automobiles that would last a lifetime to ... |

question
in this photo you see these gold clips no where on the w123 or on the sunroof panel that I pulled(intact) from the chasis are these clips.. what do they do? why do I need them? where can I get them? |

Umm why would you want a manual sunroof? I dont get it. Is the electric one too slow or something? Or when the motor breaks, it cannot be replaced?
