Re: [MBZ] Redneck body work
>From foggy memory... (best consult the service manual) If similar to a 124, open sunroof about 3/4. On the leading edge, the interior lining is held in place by four pins pushed into plastic receptacles in the metal sunroof frame. If you've ever taken the door lining off a VW beetle, same thing. Using a plastic or wooden wedge, force the lining down at the leading edge. The pins will pop out. Once you have the edge free, pull the lining forward and out if the way. Then just a couple of bolts on each side hold the metal sunroof "skin" to the bridge that goes fore and aft to move the roof. You may have to move the sunroof all the way forward to see them. -- Max Dillon Charleston, SC '95 E300, '87 300TD, '73 Balboa 20 Rich Thomas wrote: >Ok don't keep me in suspense > >--R (sent from my miniPad) > >On May 12, 2013, at 7:57 PM, Dan Penoff wrote: > >The trim panel on the 126 and 123 sunroofs is easy to remove and can be >done in a matter of seconds. > >Dan > > >On May 12, 2013, at 7:49 PM, Max wrote: > >> I'll bet if you removed it, a BFF against a piece of wood would do >the trick. >> -- >> Max Dillon >> Charleston, SC >> '95 E300, '87 300TD, '73 Balboa 20 >> >> Rich Thomas wrote: >> >>> The boy's 300SD took a branch hit right in the back middle of the >>> sunroof, put a dent in it and the back was pushed down maybe 1/4". >>> Today >>> I was out fooling with it and decided, rather than try to figure out >>> how >>> to replace it, to apply some BFF (big ... fist) to it from >underneath. >>> >>> I got most of the dent pushed out but the back is still down a bit >and >>> the seal is not in contact yet.

[MBZ] Redneck body work
The boy's 300SD took a branch hit right in the back middle of the sunroof, put a dent in it and the back was pushed down maybe 1/4". Today I was out fooling with it and decided, rather than try to figure out how to replace it, to apply some BFF (big ... fist) to it from underneath. I got most of the dent pushed out but the back is still down a bit and the seal is not in contact yet.
