[W126 Coupe] Sunroof Seal

[Jay Manek]

I tried to respond to this yesterday but my email got bounced as I attached too many files. I will send four PDF's in separate emails.

You don't need to remove headliner at all.

It sounds like one of the bracket settings is out... you have to open the sunroof half way, unclip the liner on the inside of the sunroof, pull downwards slightly and pull forward. 
You will be left with just the lid and you will see various 8mm bolts... the ones that set the vertical position of the lid need to be adjusted from sounds of things.


Many Thanks & Regards

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.
