Try it and let us know how it turns out. You can probably do a DIY if you obtain a chainsaw.

I'd be scared of breaking the MB "unibody" structure for safety reasons on a coupe. Isn't the pano roof (if you have one) enuf sunlight for you?

I had old SLs for years. Actually hated to take off the roof because of noise, hair messy, and too much California Sun.

ya, structurally you would be screwed. Not that it is not possible, just a ton of cash for the mod.

Kinda like the ebay link...if you notice the passanger seat is twisted and the owner said it is common. Well, I guess it would be common when the frame and underbody is twisting/moving due to poor install and structural support.
