Vario Roof Molding
New Member--Hello All,

Does anyone know how to replace the Vario Roof Molding on a 2005 SL? I found nothing in the shop manual or on the web. My guess is the interior roof liner has to be removed and part 60 is the support for the molding but I'm not sure. The molding part to be replaced is 300 in the pic. Thanks much,

Found Answer
I did eventually find the answer after upgrading the shop manual to an EWA WIS manual. Attached is the instructions on how to change the molding above the driver side window on a 2005 SL. Hope this helps the next person looking,
