The same thing happened to me. It turned out to be my antenna motor. I still haven't gotten around to replacing it.

Here's a DIY on a w123 http://www.mercedesshop.com/Wikka/W123SunRoofRepair - I'm not sure if they are the same but I'm sure they're similar. Hope it help.

Oh wait, you're right. My apologies. I simply took the fuse out and used that as a temporary fix. I still have to push my sun-roof up manually while pressing the button to get it to go up though..
