Sunroof jammed in open position. 190E 2.3-16
Today, while running the car, the sunroof was opening just fine, but it never closed. I tried manually closing it through the emergency mechanism, but the plastic hex bolt sheared off..... which leaves me in a rather bad position..... I do believe the car is sending power to the motor, and I checked the railings in the sunroof for obstructions, but there are none, since it opened all the way back.... could it be a switch problem? If so, how do I take out the switch?

if you think it's the switch pull down your entire switch unit from the ceiling and jump out the pins after you find your ground with a multimeter to see if you can get it to close for the mean time...then take apart your switch, clean the contacts and reassemble w/o losing any parts all else fails go to the local JY and find another switch from another 2.3 and toss it in
