Mercedes Benz (E350) sunroof repair. Pro tips!

[@kemoalex2350]

Excellent video!! Very thoroughly explained and simple to understand. I just repaired my sunroof that was stuck ajar for almost 2 weeks, due to waiting on the cog. I already had all the tools so this cost me 15 bucks and 20 minutes of my time instead of hundreds at the dealership! If I can do this anyone can! Thank you again, you've just gained a subscriber

[@popo-cw3qx]

Thank you so much your video. it really gave me confidence to repair not only indoor light but also roof gear. God bless you. :)

[@adrianausten4287]

Great simple video makes it easy

[@SeanKayGee]

By chance do you know what the vent panels are called on the front of the shade? I need to replace and searching under anything they’d come up as but no luck.

[@multiman1]

Great video! But after gear replacement it doesnt open or close as it should. How to calibrate ?

[@spudboy1328]

Thank you for this explanation. It was exacltly the problem I had with my E350. Am off to order a new gear sprocket from eBay...

[@dinogutierrez4182]

This video did not help with a 2007 E350. Total different setup

[@tariqrashid1000]

This video is absolutely fantastic, I do have a question if the sprocket is broken inside would that stop you closing is manually? Only ask because my sunroof was stuck in the open position but I still managed to close it manually.

[@kemoalex2350]

My sprocket was split in half like the video, and I couldn't close it manually. If you can close it manually it could be another issue with the sunroof motor

Surge, you're appreciated from my heart.

Hello sir. Thank you very much for all your videos. I desperately need your assistance I have a Mercedes E350 2013. My sunroof close extremely slowly and sometimes stops in the middle. It just stopped working. It won’t close anymore. When I press that bottom , no noise and no movement at all. What should I do ? Thanks in advance for all your assistance sir

[@carmengutierrezarteaga1704]

I have the same problem right now , did you have any news about yours? Or did you just send it to the mechanic? Thanks

[@statusquoreject]

I have a 2017 amg c63s with the panoramic sunroof and it won't open. When pressing the open button, it lifts up an inch and then fails to open and closes back down again. Would the repair procedure be similar? I used to be an automotive technician so I know how to repair cars but this is my first Mercedes and I'm not familiar with how the headliner is assembled around the sunroof. It's a $2k+ fix so I can't afford to take it to a shop

[@bex550]

Sounds like you just need to reset the sunroof.

[@alanparks3402]

ever figure this out? s550 here with the EXACT same issue

I rock Thanks

[@helloworld6787]

Hi Sergio. This is a great video. I have the same setup of the car on your video. Here is my issue: When my sunroof goes up, it makes a rattle noise, however, I checked the gear you replaced, but mine happens to be just fine, it is not broken. What do you recommend I do? What can possible cause that noise? Thanks!

[@surge_vasquez]

It could need to be re synchronized or might have an issue with the track.

[@sowas65]

Perfect video, thanks a lot! This sprocket was broken today at my S212 and i'm sure that i can fix it with the help of this video. Greets form germany + much luck with the swordfishes too.

[@sowas65]

...its fixed now, thx (8 € incl shipping, around 1h working time)

[@mohammedalsaudi9734]

Thank you sir

I have a CLA250 with a torn sunroof. Can I just remove it until I get it fixed?

Hello Serge, I have a cla250 the sunroof is making the noise to open but its only lifting for about for 2 seconds on one side but it won't open or side now . What do u think it is ?

[@surge_vasquez]

Unfortunately that sounds like a bad track.

[@shanetirado3273]

hey i know this is late but would it still work for a C350?? cause i’m thinking of doing it myself

[@surge_vasquez]

Not sure. It doesn’t hurt to try.

[@drilonsahitaj4398]

Hey Surge how do I remove the motor after removing all the screws ? I cannot take the motor out.

[@surge_vasquez]

Are you sure you have all the screws out? There shouldn’t be anything else holding it on.

[@drilonsahitaj4398]

@@surge_vasquez yeah I got all 3 of them out exactly like you in the video. And I took out another one so 4 in total ! It was still stuck I couldn’t move it.

[@rmqumri]

Hi Surge, thank you for this video i learned a lot. I am having a synchronizing issue. My sunroof doesnt automatically close, i have to keep pressing the button to close but it closes every .5. Same thing with opening. Any help?

[@surge_vasquez]

I would think you need to close the roof manually. Remove the motor. Power the motor up. Set it to the closed setting. Reinstall and see if things sync up.

[@glasser2819]

@@surge_vasquez is this how you resynched the motor after changing the gear head? --1. Manually spin the roof shut --2. Power up the motor removed out then use the switch control to shut position --3. Reinsert the motor.... ? I swear, my roof is possessed!!! 👍

[@rickmoses2801]

How will this apply to a 2009 e350?

[@surge_vasquez]

Sorry. I don’t own those models.

. I have a 2010 E350 Coupe which have the roof leaking problem. Can you please tell me how to fix this issue exactly? Do you have a video for my car model? I cannot even go to carwash because of this problem. I appreciate your help.

[@surge_vasquez]

I had a roof leaking problem too. There are two drains in the corners that need to be carefully cleaned out. They commonly clog with dirt and debris.
