Need to close sunroof manually W123
83 240d. Bought recently with sunroof reported as broken, but closed and not leaking--keep it that way. Waxing roof today, sunroof pushed down a little in one corner. Trying to use manual bolt/crank thing in the trunk, nothing works. Please explain procedure to operate manual thing and get it closed! Thanks.

I had the bolt on my 85 break. This is what I tried to do to close it.
What you need to do is attempt to remove the headliner that is attached to the sun roof. With it partially closed it is going to be a pain. The front of the headliner pulls down and there are clips holding it up. See if you can pull downward to remove it. I can almost guarantee you are going to damage the headliner from bending it to remove it. If you can open the roof halfway, it will make removing the headliner a lot easier. Once you have it open, there is a long pipe with a clip in it. Remove the clip and pull the sunroof closed. You will have to pull on the long metal latch to "seal" the sunroof upward. I would consider converting to a manual sunroof.

I would consider converting to a car with no hole cut in the roof.

At the sunroof motor/gear assembly...hold the bolt and tighten the nut a little so it can get traction on the cable. If the cable is not broken this should work... and if it does, then your sunroof may work. They are great when they function properly.
