I have a 2000 ML 430 with a Lamella Roof from Webasto, made for Mercedes. the majority of the roof folds back. unfortunately,the sunroof will not close and remains open approx. 6inches.
I went to several authorized MB repair shops and no one can get it closed. Not even the local MB dealer. seems MB scrapped this roof because of the problems. to replace the cose is $7700 which is not doable, the vehicle is worth that at best. I bought it from a neighbor for my daughter. Less than 80k miles on it....no probs, no service lights....just this dayum sunroof issue.
so I am looking to see if I can get a glass in its place....but can't find any custom car places in the NJ/NY/CT area these days. bckg in the days, there were few available, but I guess the car custom business is not as big as it once was.
I found something called Glassback sunroofs...but these are only made for Mustangs and Chrysler 300
