Glass sunroof for W124? Where to buy? How to make?
Hello all! I have recently bought a stunning '92 Brilliant Silver W124 300 CE-24 which I truly love as I think it is one of the best cars ever made (along with the whole W124, W123 and W126 line) and it makes me smile every time I drive it.
I'm aiming for 100% stock original condition during repairs and restoration.
However, there is one little detail, the original sunroof has broken down, to be precise, it doesn't close evenly and is also a bit rusty which made me think of a replacement.
Is it possible to "upgrade" to a glass sunroof? W123 got it, W140 got it, W210 got it .. why not W124? Please help, any advice will be highly appreciated

Of course it is possible. I just can not find a company that will make one. I have seen custom jobs on certain TV shows, but have not have luck in my searches (and I have searched hard). Please do update this thread if you find any info.

I have driven a lot of cars but sincerely, you don't need a $200k+EUR car to feel good about driving it.. less is sometimes more (I kinda wish I knew this earlier but of course I am not sorry about it, everything has its time and place
)

I think everything else is perfect except small details due to the age eg. if you are used to W221 xenons, you may find yourself a bit "in the dark" using 20year old halogen lamps 
However, regarding the ride and solid feel, it is an excellent car in every other way.
I would not upgrade the lamps for xenons for example because such upgrade doesn't fit and look hideous. The sunroof is OK IMO.

i 'think' the guy means, if you have a sunroof, then use a 210 mechanism, and if you haven't got a sunroof, you will have to cut a hole in your roof... because if you just place a moon roof cassette on the top of your car, you wont be able to see through it, and when you drive, it will fall off lol
