Ok, so something went ' poing' when I attempted to open the rear of the sunroof and it stuck open at the back.....not good....managed to get it closed but now it's not doing anything...does anyone know the standard operating procedure for fixing one of these in an 87 230te?...Would really appreciate your thoughts.

Here is a write up for a C126. I think they are all worked on the same principle.

Well done guys...Between the 2 replies we've got it covered. Thank you so much. Amazing how easily this forum can instill you with confidence and make you feel you can tackle any job on these wonderful, strange, and sometimes expensive to fix critters that we drive.....Have a good one hey.......

Good Luck ellegon.
If you can be bothered try doing some photo documentation of your work and put it up on here. Never hurts to have multiple sources of such things.

Oh and by the way, you will need one of these for the repair......
