I am facing same issue with w205 , the 2 backend portion of the roof were not sitting down when closed so as a result the roof was not getting fully closed . SO my local workshop mechanic had closed the roof manually 2months back.
1) I went on Amazon and ordered roof repair kit these 'A' Shaped clips along with these other plastic items ( Pic uploaded below) . Kindly guide me and tell me whether all these plastic parts have to replaced or just replacing those 'A' clips with 4 new ones will do ?
2) And now when the repair kit part has arrived , the same mechanic is not able to open the sliding roof. He told me that the back 2 end portion (movable glass support or sunroof lifter) is not getting lifted . He tried it automatically and manually but the was not able to open it . Any suggestion on how to raise the 2 back end portion of the sliding roof ? Without raising the 2 end portion and opening the sliding roof I wont be able to repair fix the roof.

Hi, I’ve recently had both my front clips that ride in the rail snap. Looking to purchase your aftermarket repair kit you’ve created. Could you provide instructions for installation as well for an extra price? I live in Canada so I will obviously cover shipping and other expenses. Please and thanks !

I've updated the material to a stronger carbon filled material that seems to be holding up quite well. I'm using a set on my personal vehicle and also have positive feedback from a number of other testers with some age on theirs installs.
I have a large qty. printed now (after some downtime on my 3D printer). Pricing is $30 per pair of clips (per vehicle side).
Venmo me @davet797 and include your shipping address.
I'm also attaching an install instruction sheet to this post for reference.
Hi all....I recently started to do a DIY lube maintenance on the panoramic sunroof on my C400 and realized that one of the plastic v-shaped guide clips was broken.
After researching this problem, I realized that this is a pretty widespread issue with this OEM sunroof design and many people have reported a similar issue. This ultimately causes road noise and binding during opening/closing.
The published repair involves removing the entire headliner in the vehicle to gain access to the end of the guiderails in order to slide in the replacement clips (a lot of work).
I decided to design a repair-in-place clip to solve this issue. I printed them on my 3D printer out of PLA and installed on my car and it has been in service for about 2 months now without any issue. They are working amazingly well!
The clips will install on the guiderail, then the sunroof yoke will slip down into the grooves, then the retainer inserts will get a dab of superglue and be pressed into place to lock it all in place. Allow the glue to cure for 4 hours before using sunroof.
I was a bit leery that super glue would have enough "guts" to hold up....but it turns out the super glue is actually stronger than the PLA plastic.
Attached are a few pics showing the design.
I'm looking for anyone else who has the broken clip issue and would like to try out my clips? I want some additional feedback on how well they'll hold up with use.
Anyone?
