300CE "glass" sunroof panel for sale
I sent "gardnerautopartsstore" a note that the title is wrong and miss leading. He saw nothing wrong with it and said to read the description

I measured them both and the W210 is about 1/16" narrower, the length is the same and the "flatness" seems close. I haven't verified the corner radius' but they look close on MercedesMania's car. Leaks are a possible but if it's a small leak, the "pocket" has the channel drain for that. Air leaks or noise may be more annoying. I can get the assembly but can't really take my sunroof apart right now. Hopefully the pocket frames are close in dimension. It looks like you lose an 1 1/2" headroom for the sliding panel and would have to modify the headliner for it. After all the work it would be a nice option.

The front motor was a surprise, If I use it, I'll need the W210 switch and any associated components.
At least we know someone had done this conversion we just have to figure out the extent of fabrication and if it's production worthy. A show car is one thing but if you're going to drive this everyday it will have to fit and work durably.

I'll take measurements on a W124 next time I'm at the yard. No sense in buying one where I'll end up with two I don't need.

Pifcat ? Chlippo ? Any news ?

Would somebody still have the measurements of the sun roof, especially of a 1995 E420? I am trying to figure out if the W140 or W202 would fit. On the face of it ... W202 looks similar, size wise
Much appreciate it
