Yeah I don’t know. When the $900E500 went in for the SBC the stealer checked it. I haven’t had the wagon in yet. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 24, 2022, at 5:58 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes > wrote: > > Pretty sure that’s W211s only, and even if it was, that was for the roof > itself (la

Pretty sure that’s W211s only, and even if it was, that was for the roof itself (laminated glass that has separation of the layers) and likely wouldn’t cover the issue that mine has. I’ll check just to be sure, though. -D > On Jul 24, 2022, at 4:52 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote:

Now that I have a MIG welder, and am reasonably competent with it, a sunroof would get welded closed. We special ordered the Subauru to get one without a factory hole in the roof. On Sun, Jul 24, 2022 at 1:16 PM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Same here. > > -D > >

I don't understand the appeal of sunroofs. At least here, they are something I might use a few times a year. They are otherwise just potential sources for leaks and trouble. I would not miss having one in the slightest. On Sun, Jul 24, 2022, at 12:31 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: > I h

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
