Frustrated, he said: "Take it down to Mercedes, have them fix it and put it on my tab". Well, I finally brought the car there 2 weeks ago and they "tried" to realign the sunroof. Picked it up last week, and it was still binding and scratching the paint., said it was the best they could adjust it. They said it needed slide angles, a sliding bridge and a few other parts, stating worn parts as the reason it was binding (and scratching). Tried to get the paint shop to cover labor if I bought the parts.....since they were paying the labor for the adjustment the roof anyway, but no good. (Oh well, I tried). Checked out the car on Saturday and I don't ever think I've seen the sunroof operate so smoothly or quietly! This morning, it's back to the paint shop to get the roof panel either buffed out or re-painted. Don't know which one yet. Also to fix a few things I'm not 100% happy with. In general, even though he's been paid 4-5 months ago, he's still willing to follow through to see that I'm satisfied with his work..... BTW, the S/R was screwing up the paint prior to the repaint, so I don't think it's unreasonable that he did not want to pay....... My question: would badly worn slide angles, slide bridge and sliding jaw(s) and poorly aligned sliding panel cause the back edge of the sliding panel to scrape when it is retracted, or could there be some obstruction in the roof causing the scraping? (Requiring removal of the headliner to access? Gosh, I hope not.......) Oh, and as an aside, the dealer ding'ed the side of the car while in their custody; They're fixing that too.
