W115 1975 240D sunroof installed as dealer option

Hi,

I am in the process of restoring my W115 and after some research, I learned that the electric sunroof was installed as a dealer option!?

It is a Webasto sunroof and largely indistinguishable from the factory installed version with the exception of how the roof was cut out and that the OEM front seal and the side felts do not fit. Instead, it has a black plastic coated metal frame that goes along the front and side roof cutout with felt on the side that faces the sliding roof.

Most importantly, I am looking for a replacement of the plastic-coated meta frame with felt. Has anyone faced this situation and found a suitable replacement part?

I am curious if anyone else owns a W115 with a sunroof that was installed after it left the factory in Germany?

Thanks & cheerio, Harry.

Best bet is to contact Webasto or find a sunroof car at the junk yard to take parts from.
