11-08-2011, 09:32 AM #1So my sunroof will not close at highway speeds (60-80). It will open but not close all the way, it gets to a point were its about a inch from being all the way closed then just stops. Im having this issue on a '84 300 SD w126. But who knows it might be doing this by design.

Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
Mine did something similar. I took a can of white litheam grease and lubricated the rail where it rides. Moves a lot quicker and no issues. However, I am going to a manual sun roof in my next MB. ..... my present one is totaled.

Now I think about it one of the control arms (passenger side) is broken and just sitting there, would that have anything to do with that. Its the one that is contacted to the black flapper thing.

It could. I don't think mine was broken --just added some grease and it doubled in speed. There's a kit out there to replace the springs for the black flapper thing as well as other parts. Not too expensive. There was a pretty long write up on Peach Parts with lots of pic's. ... my bad ... should not mention PP on this forum. Not sure why it causes such a commotion, but might get some flack. LOL
Hope this helps.
