[W126 Coupe] Sunroof Seal

Jonathan,

Can you give me an estimate as to how much time and cost to remove and replace the seal. I can order a new seal from the dealer, so I am looking at labor cost only.

It can be done, but it's tricky and time consuming....

Can anyone give some insight as to how or what is needed to replace the  sunroof seal properly on an 87-560 SEC.  I have the sunrood seal inastalled my a local body shop recommeded by the local Benz dealer,  the problem is the sunroof will not close completly to the close position and cannot be raised to the tilt position. I have been told that I need to pay them to remove the entire headliner in order to install it correctly. Makes no sense if that was the case it should have been done the first time.
