Can anyone help? i have a 1997 E230. The sunroof is stuck in the open tilted position. It will not close electrically or by using an Allen key. Something is very jammed & it’s cold & wet. What is the procedure for manually closing the roof? Contact paulgs@bimproducts.net 07710137401

 

Had a similar problem.

Mine was apparently stuck somewhere along the line.

I worked the switch and the motor by rocking the switch back and forth a few times finally it closeed properly and then I was able to electrically slide the window open (the other function).

I blew out a couple of pine needles with air from an air compressor nozzle)that had gotten into the mechanism. Been fine since!

Make certain that the fuse is still good.

 

Hi,

I am afraid I cannot help you as I also have sunroof issues!!! But thought this the best place to ask for help.
My sunroof will tilt correctly up & down but will not slide back. It tries to move but cannot (possibly motor). I have tried the fuse and its good.

Your Help Gratefully Received.

 

As I mentioned on a previous post. It may be a foreign object that is tripping a limit switch or jamming the mechanism. I blew out the assembly with air from a compressor and mine has operated fine ever since. If it tilts, the motor is probably just fine. The other things that it might be is a switch contact in the window mechanism actuator (rocker switch). Pop the switch out and open it up (gently) make sure the springs and ***** are not lost. (clean paper on a desk or bench). Clean the silver plating and reassemble. Polish the nubs as necessary.

Good luck!
