Also covers 1980 W116 sedans. In this 20-minute instructional video, Kent will walk you through the steps of getting the steel sunroof panel installed properly back into the car's roof. The first step will require cleaning, inspection, and possible replacement of the plastic slides. Once cleaned and installed, the slides will need to be properly lubricated with Mercedes sunroof grease before it is set back in place. Next, the T- bar must be installed and locked in place with the special factory C-lip. Kent demonstrates how to use a helper to lift the panel up and angle it into the correct slots. And finally, the roof is hooked up and tested for full fore and aft movement.
