[W126 Coupe] Sunroof Seal

[terrako at comcast.net]

Jonathan, 

I would like to keep the factory Becker 754 unit as my head unit, would you happen to have any suggestions for using the head unit and adding or changing the factory speakers?

300 sounds about right to get the job done...sometimes a little more, sometimes less...  Each one is different IME.

Chet,

Thanks for the feedback, If I take the seal off it works fine. The body shop says it the seal. I will take a read of the info.

Thanks

If you're interested in what's involved in some slide roof jobs, here's what I've done.

Fix Wind deflector:

My attempt to repair the broken mechanism:

Replaced mechanism:

There's also a drive cable clutch adjustment, which I never got around to documenting.   
Also it may be time for  a good cleaning and relube.  If there is too much resistance (friction or broken parts), the drive cable clutch will slip.  If I recall, the lifting operation requires a little extra torque and more prone to not working if the adjustments are not right.
