I have come to the conclusion that I’m not going to bear the near $1,000 (parts) expense for the repair of the sunroof in the ML550. While replacing the headliner would be the ideal time to do it, I just don’t see the value for the cost.
After I had finished tinkering with it a few weeks ago, I got it back in position but noticed on a highway drive that there was some wind noise. Upon close inspection, I found that the seal on the sunroof panel had rolled a bit in the center rear where it meets the roof. This morning I got an Allen wrench out and tilted the rear up, reset the seal, and lubed it up with some of the unicorn tears lubricant that Mercedes has for rubber seals. I lowered it back in place and it’s now sealing as intended. I’m back in Florida for a bit right now, but when I head back to Flagstaff in August I’m going to drop it off with my headliner guy to have him do his magic. And I’ll leave the sunroof motor unplugged. -D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
