Sunroof problem
Okay, something broke on my sunroof. It's the in the left (drivers) side. The right side is fine but the left side headline droops down and it won't pop down to open (slide back).
I removed the headliner and removed the nuts on the side panel of sunroof so that I could lift the sunroof a little. It looks like the or a piece of the slide might be broken, but I can't see it very well to make sure or to tell which piece it is.
Does anyone know anything about the sunroofs of our cars? Is there anywhere I can get a diagram or parts list?
I assume I can get used parts if I had a CLUE of what I need.
Alternatively, does anyone know how to remove the sunroof? when I removed the nuts on the sides and the 4 screws on the front I could lift the rear of the sunroof, but the front would not come loose.

You need to purchase a MB sevice CD or FSM. The MBUSA website sells the CD's.
It sounds like the slide is broken, I just replaced both of mine they run about $140 each.
The front of the metal panal is held in by tabs on either side. Lift the rear out and slide it back, you will see notches in the stainless track. The tabs come out through those notches.
