My roof was making a clicking / pinging noise when opening past halfway, but closed silently.
It was lubed at the last service by MB approx 8k ago back in March 2018.
I took it to my local indie who listened and felt where the noise was coming from - left side, and he sprayed some lube into the channel towards the back and told me to work it in, which I did.
The sunroof opened and closed twice and then refused to open. The sunshade opens and closes fine.
He initially thought the motor had overheated, but this is not the case.
This was 2 wks ago now and he cannot book it in to look at as he is too busy and moving premises!
I have scanned with MBII and the switches seem ok with the following fault registered: -
987223 the button 'roof system' sticks. No signal change. Voltage level is too low.
No fiddling or resetting makes any difference.
I have booked it in with another MB indie - Gemtech in romford - any clues as to what's wrong and feedback on Gemtech is appreciated.
I have a third party warranty that covers electrical failure should it be the motor.
Thanks
