That is exactly why my B200 Turbo was so cheap. so I should be happy. My front glass panel goes down when I push it from the outside, but sucks back up as soon as a large truck goes in the opposite direction. I am still considering a suction cup and bungee solution, a suction cup handle, or some mechanical latch clamps. I will not give up on my sunroof or the B200. 🙂

Fantastic car, so underrated but ours ( considering full MB service from new) was riddled with faults - the sunny, I thought was sensational, but it was the cause I got rid of it, mine sounded worse than yours, you could get your finger in the gap - hope you sort it, someone sells a full glass glue in panel, I cannot re find a link, sorry

Keyboard filling with tears as I type ! keep yours lubed :). ... suspect its inevitable here, 40 degrees plus, and the tiny bit of plastic that's snapped is really brittle - more gunk needed :(

Hi Jon & Nath..... That was a good idea using the sealant, hopefully the roof is now water tight? I would keep the Merc as a daily driver it's a nice car, and just use the air-con when it's hot. Please keep us updated. Thank you. Best regards to you both. Stefano

Portugal just x3 month of winter. Very decent of you if p/x to mention fault, I personally would let them inspect and of course mention if asked..but in the end is their job to chk car out & as they mentioned to you once it gets handed over to auction its 'sold as seen'

@@r1zw4n29 I just cannot do it ... my L200, I was right shafted on, so I will and have mentioned it 😇 - I have looked at a couple of cars, but been delayed as its been tipping it down here on and off for a week or so, back to 30 degrees today 😎 one ( small type one man band dealer) looked at the car (from a distance ) laughed and said, it's got a sunroof, no thanks - I then corrected him with "its an already fu**ed sunroof" 😂 ... Then at a main dealer (BMW/Mini/Toyota), the sales lady did not look at it, I told her it had full Mercedes history, not interested, told her the sunroof was knackered, not interested - so you are right, the ones who will just move it on, don't care - our video is about 3 weeks behind real life (plus we only really do it for a laugh) - not to ruin it for you, but maybe my fix leaks 🙈 only a tiny bit; I have contemplated a resin total seal ( with a sanding key to secure adhesion better) then raptor coat the whole roof ( I really don't want to splash real cash on another car, used cars are way over priced here) Nath says it will look like a dogs dinner, that was the wrong thing to say, as that makes it appealing to me - the Portuguese ( trying not being racist😈) in the main, cannot drive and love parking 1 inch away and throwing the door open, so a beater outside and pristine inside is almost perfect !

Its super complicated - most will not touch them - some of the pulleys are in the rear pillar (at the very back) so its a full interior out - I had a price just to look at it ( fixing on top) of 2K - Mercedes will not repair, only replace 6K + - sorry, not great news, my gunk did not hold and the repair is more than the car is worth - well past our pay grade to fix sadly - the part for interest was under 50 euros ... its a @"_)( as I loved the car.

Mine ‘06 B200 T with this awful sunroof also broke front right front panel then concertina and further broke a few clips further back - have rear panel now not closing fully and front left not aligned so air noise but waterproof in light rain - such an appalling design which ruined car as too much $ to fix on older car

In reality, makes the car a write off :( - its a great shape car for a big sunroof and was one of the things that attracted me to the car - I had no clue they were a mechanical disaster - mine is totally shagged

We sold the Mercedes, leaked like a sieve after I tried gluing it, silicon you name it I tried it, could not fix it - such a shame as a great car, with a massive flaw, that roof - not much we can suggest really.

I'll do exactly the same thing, tape up this roof. Apart from that, the car is great, the only drawback is the roof. I have a question. Where is the update? Is the roof leaking? Is it water resistant?

I tried window seal, super glue, JP weld type stuff, duct tape etc etc - and the water still came in - was not best pleased as I love the B, its immaculate, goes really well and super comfortable on top[ (and worth naff all) but; rainy season arriving, need to drive and no car ? so ...... kzitem.info/news/bejne/1oR60n-MqYVnqqQ
