2008 E550 Panorama roof help

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope someone can help me, I love my car...cant keep dumping money into it though..

My 2008 E550 Panorama Roof has been running fine, not used that often, serviced regularly at the dealer, so I believe they have been lubricating.

I had to change the battery, and a day later I went to open the roof, it did the stop/start/stop to open, so I believe I synced it correctly.

Today I went to close it, and when it got to the close position, the drivers side remained up and unsealed and the passengers side is closed. Now I tried reopening, and closing and tilting nd I am getting the machine gun rattling noise, s I have not doen anything, hoping there is someone that can help me and tell me what to do?

Thank you in advance and God Bless

The panoramic roof is identical in ALL MB, so finding other threads outside the W211 will help you.

Here is one (I will add other as I remember them)

Thank you Juanmor40.

If anyone knows how to get it closed as I cannot invest into repairing it, I would really appreciate the instruction.....I opened up the rear view mirror trim and was able to change the washer, now it moves slightly back and forth, I dont want to break it further so I didnt try it...any hope this is not the rails?
