Manually close sunroof clockwise or counter clockwise '95 E320

check fuse and relay if good than possible motor ot track problem their should be a mechanical bypass that will let you close it if stuck open the following information is courtesy of monte carlo forum

To check the condition of your original sunroof guides:

1. Gl*** in closed position.
2. Locate & remove 3 torx bolts on each side of sunroof glass. Lift glass out of sunroof opening & set aside in a safe place.
3. Locate "J" shaped cover plate at front of sunroof track assembly. Remove 2 torx bolts from each cover plate.
4. Lift up bracket to remove.
5. Inspect the plastic guides on each side. The sunroof cables attach to guides on front outer corner. Inspect this area closely for damage.
6. Do not operate the sunroof with the J plates removed.

Troubleshooting:

If the sunroof guides are not broken & the glass is a uniform height along the rear edge your problem may be a stripped gear inside the motor. The motor has a manual override:

1. Get access to the motor by removing the map light/switch console or lowering the front of the headliner.
2. Insert a large standard screwdriver into the nylon bushing at the center of the motor hub. Push up & turn the screwdriver to manually move the sunroof glass. If the unit will fully open & close manually, you most likely only need a replacement motor.

If your sunroof is stuck in the open position follow these steps to get it closed:

1. Remove the glass.
2. Try to close the unit without the glass. Many times one side will still be operational and close correctly.
3. Try to slide the inoperable lift arm forward. If it moves, slide it forward until it stops.
4. You now need to slide the original plastic guide forward to lower the arm to the closed position. Using a standard screwdriver, push it forward. The lift arm should begin to lower.
5. If the lift arm will still not fully lower, remove the J plate as explained above, sometimes the sunroof cable will need to be lifted up to allow the guide to fully slide forward.
6. Reinstall glass.

Look toward the back of the sunroof on inside, if there is a small circular piece of plastic or other slot like opening. Open it with proper tool, probably a screw driver. In there should be the part u will need to turn, with the proper tool usually sized to fit socket & ratchet, or Allen key, or star wrench. In order to close, or begin to close the sunroof manually. Usually u can get it started manually, then run it as u usually
would.

To manually closed you remove the panel that houses the sunroof button and you'll see the motor which has a hex hole in the center that you can turn clockwise direction with a hex socket, to close it.

Can be manually close with the good allen key. Take the plastic with lights off. Put it where the circle and turn slowly.

You have to remove the overhead control unit (front dome lamp assembly) to gain access to the sunroof motor(link below) You can then put an allen wrench/socket into the drive motor for the sunroof and turn to close. This works if the sunroof motor has failed. If the problem is the switch, you might get lucky by pointing the key at the IR pickup on the driver's door handle and holding the lock button. That should close all of the windows and the sunroof. Mercedes 211 overhead mirror removal

If you remove the plastic cover in front of the sunroof, you will see the motor. There is a plastic slot to stick a screwdriver into. Push the screwdriver into the slot until you hear a release pin click then turn the screwdriver clockwise. The sunroof should close.

in the trunk on the drivers side there is a plastic bolt to turn, in your tool kit should be a socket thing that should fit it to turn it.

you can open and close you sunroof "manually" remove the plastic cover next to your sunroof and dome light buttons (above your rearview mirror) there is an allen wrench stored inside... insert the wrench into the corresponding hole and you can close or open you sunroof by turning the wrench
