plastic cap for sunroof motor, where to buy?

My '85 300D has (had) a plastic cap that goes over the clutch adjustment bolt on the sunroof motor located in the trunk. You can place a wrench or socket on the cap to open and close the sunroof manually. More importantly the cap keeps the clutch bolt from loosening when the sunroof motor is running.

Can a replacement for these be bought anywhere?

I'd suggest you put a "Want to buy" (WTB) ad in the parts section of our board classifieds. Someone who is parting out a car will catch it and drop you a line. If it doesn't work the first time, keep doing it every couple of weeks.

Otherwise, if you have a very patient parts counter guy at the dealer, you could ask.... The guys at my local dealer are five-star for this kind of thing, but YMMV

Found your "Plastic Cap" for you

Saw your post the other day. Saw the part at a yard today. Guess what..."Member Benefit"...

Picked it up for you.... Send me your mailing info and I'll have it in the mail on Monday free of charge...just do the same for another member some time or maybe write a DIY on it with a photo to match!
