Panoramic roof seals

[Iggipoppop]

Hello you wonderful people, I come in search if help. . .

I was cleaning my c204 yesterday and noticed the rubber seals the panoramic roof slides down, have perished at the rear of the car. I've done some searching but can't seem to find anywhere to buy replacements, can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Im a bit worried because some old forum threads mention that the entire panoramic assembly would need replacing, which sounds daft over a piece of rubber!!

AFAIK you can only get these from MB, they won't sell seals to anyone to fit. That's what I've been advised in tne past anyway...so MB it is

In the interests of completness, I finally managed to find some through a MB dealer, they're £50 but the fitting is £250, does anyone know if it's something I could do myself?

Well after taking my car to a MB specialist nearby, he explained where my seal had a hole is wasn't a problem as it was right at the bottom end, he recommended filling it with some black sealant and saving myself a small fortune, which I've done and it's been fine ever since! Happy days!
