[W126 Coupe] sunroof

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Terrako,

Do not make that assumption.  Take the car back to the repair facility 
and ask them to properly align and adjust the sunroof carrier and 
linkage.  If they broke it, they need to fix it.  It is a very expensive 
set-up and is easily damaged by anyone not knowing the how to service 
it.  Do not do anything yourself that will hold you liable.  This I can 
tell you is the only way to handle this one area of your coupe.

If they broke it, they can only get the parts from Mercedes and they 
cost a small fortune.  If the repair facility is not familiar with MB 
roofs, have them pay for a Mercedes dealer to fix.  Sorry this is a 
major problem you do not want to be responsible for.

Regards,

Dick
