I can tell you that the one motor that opens and closes the roof is 400+. As with anything MB, its not cheap for parts or repairs.

I would still take it to a professional since this is a very finicky assembly, not known for its robustness or its ease of repair. However, I cant see it or hear it, so I could be wrong. If its not closed or will not close, then it could be bad. Try and learn to live with not opening the screen too far and not opening the roof. My question is this.Is the roof closed and is it sealed? If it is, then that's good. I had the same problem, so until I had it repaired (long and expensive story) I would simply not open the sunscreen all the way (until the day curiosity got the best of me.ugh).

That said, moving it with the manual override and then finishing the closure with the motor/switch is the procedure you have found that works. I can tell you that its typical for the sunscreen to stop when opened all the way if the sunroof is not sitting and sealed properly. Your symptoms are very similar to many that have had problems with this assembly. Does anyone here have those handy and can post them? There has been much discussion about this and there have been some that have posted engineering exploded parts diagrams with lube points for the pano roof. Search the forums for the panoramic roof. Its not cheap (of course) but its much better than just spraying silicone on it. I dont have the part number in front of me, but Im sure that there are others on this great forum that have that information at hand. There is a specific grease that MB recommends for the pano roof. This won't take you long, and hopefully it'll fix your problem. Once you can actually get the roof open, you'll also want to clean the tracks with alcohol or WD40 and then regrease them with a good quality synthetic axle grease. It took only one washer on the one mounting bolt I could access through the sunroof control pod to fix the problem with my roof. Try putting one of these washers on every mounting bolt you can without removing the headliner, and see if that fixes your problem. You could either try calling the Mercedes dealer to see about picking up new rubber mounting grommets for the sunroof motor, or just remove one of the bolts and go to your local hardware store and pick up 1/4' lock washers that'll fit on the bolts without overhang. If you can't, see if you have these same rubber grommets built into the mounting bolts that the panoramic has.

If this is the case, try to torque the motor's mounting bolts. Turn the key on, and actuate the sunroof button while watching the motor and look for excessive movement especially where you see the motor being pushed away from the gears it's supposed to be driving. If I was you, I'd first open this panel leaving the sunroof switch connected. I don't know what the regular sunroof layout is, but most models that I've seen (VW, Audi) always have the panel you can remove to access the motor that drives the roof panel so you can crank it shut in case of emergencies.
