SL55 Pano Roof tint bubbles???
I noticed this before but today it bothered me 
On the tinted side of the Pano roof I notice today there is bubbling. Anyone know how easy/hard this is to fix if I take it to my tint guy??
The car was tinted when I got it, pretty sure its factory.
Thanks~

If it's just the two covers, you replace them easily; they are just clipped on (see post #43 https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...project-2.html)

Are you talking about the actual glass pano roof or small black pieces left/right from the rear window?

They done the same on my SL55, it's an easy cheap quick job.
Actually they are stuck on, I waited at Mercedes for mine to be done,
I was driving home in an hour.

The dealer replaced mine at about $75.00 or so apiece. My service advisor actually did it himself while i waited. I watched. He retracted the roof halfway to gain access to each side glass panel, un-clipped and then re-clipped them back into position in all of about 10 minutes for both sides.

glued?
so 2003's can't be replaced? I was thinking a carbon fiber wrap. But, i would have to see one done. I'm 75% sure it wouldn't look like i want it to. Being that close to an actual cf rear spoiler. hmmm.....???
