thanks a lot for making such a good video. After 1 year without closing the sun shade of my panoramic sunroof on my E500, I followed your instructions this morning and in 20 minutes, it was fixed up. And it cost me less than 5 euros . You should have seen the big smile on my face after the repair. God bless you.
Thank you so much! Same car same issue. In my case 2 of the 3 rubber grommets were shot. Instead of the washer I used a fuel injector rubber o-ring that fit perfectly around the bolts. Cost of the operation..zero. Thanks man!
I was afraid this wouldn’t work on my 2008 e550 because the sunroof was stuck open halfway on the tilt setting, but it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
THANKS A LOT. You solved the problem and it didn't take me ten minutes out there they told me I had to change the THANKS A LOT. You solved the problem and it didn't take me ten minutes out there they told me I had to change the gear.THANK YOU💯💯
Thanks a lot my friend! My motor was making that same suspicious noise and was not opening at all. After following your instruction I managed to get it to work! Universal workshop said that it would cost between 2000-4000 euros!
This worked well , you don’t necessarily need to pull the first cover off, getting the mirror back on was the biggest hassle and took a lot of strength and screwdriver wedging the spring back as you push it back on. Good on you Mate saved me fortune 👍
Saved me hundreds (if not more) dollars! After a mechanic charged me $300 to just manually close it and another mechanic told me 'sorry motor is busted'. What a joke. Thanks a lot!!!
I love watching all Mercedes fixes..although I have the SL model I still love informational videos like you put out..thanks for taking the time to share your Mercedes fixes and repairs and general information..
Thanks so much. This was a big help. I have an old 2009 E350. Didn’t want to spend $500 getting it fixed. Just wanted to add .. if glass roof closes and the fabric still goes grrrr … Add another washer … ☺️ .. Thanjs again so much … 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
For anyone wondering, just tried this on my E550 2009 and it worked! Used M8 washers and I actually had to put 2 on the bolt instead of just 1, so it must’ve really been worn down... thank you so much for the video saved me a lot of money!
Hello, I encountered the same problem with my sunroof. So I followed your video without disassembling the mirror, because from the moment that we remove the plastics at the level of the windshield and that of the mirror, it is necessary to dislodge the ceiling lamp at the level of the mirror then pull a little towards the windshield and remove it completely. Then I put a washer like on the video and I took the test. My sunroof is working normally. Thank you so much. My car : Mercedes W211 270CDI Bonjour, j'ai rencontré le même problème avec mon toit ouvrant. J'ai donc suivi votre vidéo sans démonter le retroviseur, car a partir du moment que l'on retire les plastiques au niveau du pare-brise et celui du rétroviseur, il faut déboiter le plafonnier au niveau du rétroviseur puis tirer un peu vers le pare-brise et le déboiter complètement. Puis j'ai mis une rondelle comme sur la vidéo et j'ai fait le test. Mon toit ouvrant refonctionne normalement. Merci beaucoup.
That is exactly what I will do. I have the same problem, and Mercedes official workshop confirms this morning that the fix will cost about 3000 euros. Hope that this will solve it also in my E320. Thanks a lot for sharing and I will let you know the result.
This video helped me to fix this on my 09 e63. When pulling out the mirror, I snapped the rain sensing cable so had to reorder that from pelican parts. And putting it back in was extremely difficult. I ended up using a metal filer and some grease so the spring loaded pointy bit would go in. Scared if the sunroof stops working again I'll snap another cable trying to re open everything.
Nice job my friend. Can you tell meif there are two motors fornthe pano roof? Is there one for the glass and one for the shade? My shade does nlt move. Thanks
Gonna assume I need a motor now. I did what you did in the video. Worked for a while but now it’s back to not closing without it being manual. Rear shade never closed either. Front shade closed and opened but then stayed open and then the glass stopped working
Thank you for sharing this video. I have the same problem with that noise coming from the roof. Also the last time I opened it, it got blocked from the right side, and I closed it manually. Any advice?
Hello, maybe you will know why this does happen: my panoramic roof when opening cannot be opened fully with just one click, just like yours but closing is ok. A couple months ago my sunroof absolutely did not open did no noise, nothing but recently it came back to life just randomly. Any suggestions? the curtain worked all the time but just like sunroof it keeps geting stuck.
My panoramic roof on w204 can not open along in one click, need to push the button for a few times (probably 5-7 time, its move only a few inche in one click, almost the same in 4:38 in VDO) also the way back as well Does this will help?
Isaac Fils I’m surprised I don’t own a set of those plastic tools ( very useful ). I’ve got a job to tackle on my Ceyenne that requires me having them.
Mr. JKL. Your videos are some of the best tutorial on MB repair and maintenance. I own a 2011 W212 E350 4MATIC with 33,350 original miles. I am first owner and unfortunately this person ran a stop sign and slammed the front driver side. The following parts were replaced: Head lamp assembly, bumper, grill, hood, and various other parts under the hood. There is a problem with the left head lamp light, it is slightly out of alignment and shines at the tree tops!!!! The collision shop that did the work proved to be very incompetent, so I'm not taking the car back to them. Can you give me some help on fixing this problem? I do have some mechanical expertise. Thanks, Dave Portillo
David Portillo I think the projector is knocked out of its position I think you need a new headlight, try looking on your local Craigslist for one. But to install it you’ll need to remove the front bumper to get to the bolts under the light
@@Nissannx2000svg thanks for the advise. A friend of mine said the same thing, that the bumper and other components would have to come off and most likely replace the headlight. Cheers mate....
Any body damage or big jobs I rather have it done at MB because they make sure to use OEM parts and would replace things that many shops won’t then you end up with a situation like yours.
Hi my friend , in my case whith same problem , the teeth in the rail track that the gear set into is broken , dose i have to replace the hole rail track or there's anything I can do ?
Solved the same issue on a '07 w211 e63 . But how does that work... Is the big part moving vertically, and if so, the sensor cannot feel it should stop to power the electric motor ? So when the rubber grommet because to hurt/skinny, the big part move and the sensor never knows when the window is closed ? What do you think
After doing the repair by changing the gear of the motor (15$) and puting only one washer to one screw one year ago, it broke again last week. So, 1 year later I answer to myself : the motor go little bit out of its perfect location, which allow the gear to turn "free" and hurt itself. Bought a new gear again, and plan to put 3 washers to the 3 screws, in order to maintain the motor in perfect location. How this will be the last repair haha
have a 2013 e350 popping noise coming from the back of the panaramic roof when I hit uneven surface going in parking lots just wanted to know were i could gotoget it fix lives in Brooklyn ny. please please help me don't want to get rid of the car
Melbourne Douglas Try taking it to Mercedes Benz over in sheepshead bay and pay for a diagnostic on it ( not sure what the price will be ) but this way you’ll know exactly what happened to it and figure out what to do next. It probably came off the track. Have someone go in the car and operate the roof and you inspect where it’s coming from first.
the sunroof works perfect just the popping noise took it there before and they didn't fixed it fix other stuff change the warranty company $3,200 and me 600 most of the body shops want me to come on a Sunday like i am not paying
Funny shit is on BOTH my S550 and E350 this happened... my S550 sat for hella long and the battery died. Then shit started clicking. I disconnected the E350 battery and it happened on that one too. Nothing worked... Even added a washer and I was able to move it (still with clicking). It's been like this for years. I'm just now getting back to it. Tried it again but nothing
Hayati. Few questions, is it a panoramic roof or moon roof ? Not working meaning No sound or clicking noises ? Start by checking the fuses then if they’re good then look to see if any of the wires may have been cut or frayed. It could possibly be something very simple that’s causing the problem.
Hayati Just trying to get to you start from the beginning so you can eliminate all possibilities of why it’s not working. If it’s a bad motor you won’t know until you find out that it’s getting power. There’s also a way to manually open the roof at the motor as well
Hey, i got a question. Maybe someone can help. My panoramic sunroof makes the same sound and not closing. Opens but not closing. Is my engine broken or can it be the problem like in this video?? Or is here Another problem Shown. ☹️

Big ups to you my friend. I was afraid to fix my sunroof myself until I found this video.. not having my shade close was killing me. I appreciate it.
keep me posted to how it turned out.
You sir are a hero! The service centre I went to qouted $1k to fix it. Hats off to you!
Dude, thank you, sunroof was stuck open + clicking, got a quote for 1k to pull everything out, found your video, worked a treat!!!
Thank you so much!
Same car same issue.
In my case 2 of the 3 rubber grommets were shot.
Instead of the washer I used a fuel injector rubber o-ring that fit perfectly around the bolts.

Thanks man!
Thank you my friend for showing this step by step I appreciate it, I heard these are common problems on the W211. I appreciate it
You're welcome!
I was afraid this wouldn’t work on my 2008 e550 because the sunroof was stuck open halfway on the tilt setting, but it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
By the way for anyone else wondering, I used one metal washer at first but it was still girnding, so I added one more and it started working great.

Just want to stop and say thank you for posting this video. Your instructions were excellent and helped me solve the same problem. Thank you so much!
Superb help, Thanks a lot for showing us the easy way to fix the sunroof problem
Thank you very much. I fixed my sunroof by myself thanks to your excellent video.

Hey there ! Thanx A LOT for that video :) I managed to fix my sunrooof and avoided heart attack. Very well made. Keep them coming.

Hi Mate ,
thanks for sharing this video ,today suddenly my car panoramic roof made noise like this and stopped working .Now I can fix it .
Many thanks
Just bought an E350 this weekend with that issue ... thanks for taking the time to share

Thanks for washer size first time I found this out
I am actually going to try this on my 2008 e550 tonight, will pick up the washers you mentioned on my way
Wow, fantastic video and I love your comic relief. This just happened today and I will be fixing it tomorrow. I will let you know the outcome.

Unfortunately the roof still blocked, this workaround was not ok for my case 😞
NAWFAL LEAMARI blocked in what way ?
@@Nissannx2000svg It means that the roof now is not possible to open it completly nor close it
Thankyou took me 15 minutes to fix something that was broken for almost a year
LMAO ...impact gun and hammer,,,that is hilarious. your video still helping people in 2022..thanks

Holy shit that headliner is sick!
That’s completely stock ( Alcantara ). My Cayenne GTS has the same thing in it.
Just fixed my pano. Your video was spot on! btw...I used a 1/4" flat washer.
Nice video, what is the size of the washer needed?
Gonna assume I need a motor now. I did what you did in the video. Worked for a while but now it’s back to not closing without it being manual. Rear shade never closed either. Front shade closed and opened but then stayed open and then the glass stopped working

Hey @marjan kulla , how did you close it manually? Mine is blocked on the right side as well:(
Thanks man I just fixed my sunroof!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have a question? How do u fix the shade in the back so it’ll open and close because now it’s drupping!
Ive never done the red shade, but knowing Mercedes its going to be tricky but clever.
Wow !!! Tank's ! I repare my sunroof rapidly ! ;-)
I’m going to check this out, will let you know, thank you very much for the heads up.
Having the same problem! Just my passenger side is tilted up a little while driver side is completely closed! Gonna try it out thanks bro!!!

Damn! I thought shit was about to get real with the hammer and impact!
Howd you get the roller blind to close when it didnt at first when you went to close the sunroof?
What about a w204? My benz is having the same problem, but only for going up and down and closing the blind but otherwise the sun roof works

Your insurance company should fix it. The best insurance companies guarantee the repairs. Call them and tell them.
Hey would that work on r500 Benz 2006
Keep it up brother.
Great video! Looking at this video, I have a 2007 E350 with that same light housing, do you think that will work the same way?
If it has the same roof system it should be the same.
