I’d love to get a set! If you’d be so kind to send me a message with further instruction and how you got them installed. I’d greatly appreciate it!

Mossy2a is a splendid example of a very capable designer & 3D printer.
I recently got some custom 3D printed adapters to mate various power tools to a Festool vacuum from a similar very capable entrepreneur and they work great. Nice to see this segment continuing to grow.
Well done Mossy2a!

hi This would be great if i could get some of these from you ..im in France and i was quted 1600 euros to replace the Rails
2021 with less than 100 miles. Didn't hear a crack but couldn't close the pano all the way. sooo still happening....Was driving last night with my sunroof open. Heard something crack and the found later plastic pieces of the shoe on the right side of the car. I can't find the part number or a replacement. Dealership is closed today for super bowl. The window is stuck on tilt and I would love to get this part replaced asap so I can close the window. Its been nasty weather in Chicago. pic is the non broken side. I need the bottom part that the "Y" looking piece fits in to.

I am not sure if this is what was wrong with my panoramic sunroof, but the first day I used the sunroof for the GLA I bought in January, it wasn't closing quite right. first it would start to close, then open again. I kept trying and eventually, it closed, but stuck up a little on one side. With the help of another pair of hands, we guided it to try to open/close/open and it finally closed. I made an appointment at the dealership. The night before the appointment I tried the "resetting" option I read about in the owner's manual, but the sunroof wouldn't open at all now.
So, at the dealership the next day...they got it open but couldn't get the thing to close again. Now it's sitting at the deal (inside) waiting for parts. All I can say is, "Thank goodness for CPO!!" The repair is covered and I'll just be without a car for a few days.
Having read about this, I am shocked at how many people have problems with this sunroof. When I bought this car used, I chose one with the pano over one with the backup camera because I really like the pano sunroof in my Audi that I was replacing. But, does using these break them prematurely? Can I afford to enjoy it if it's going to break again in a few years without warranty coverage? Will MB figure out how to fix these right and give us longevity or is planned obsolescence a more sustainable model for selling cars? Hrumph...my Audi never had any problems with its panoramic sunroof.
I wonder if there are enough people out there across all the models with this problem to do something to compel MB to come up with a better long-term fix that they will do at a deep discount. It really doesn't seem like something that should fail so early and so often, right?

I have this exact issue on a 2015 cla, took the liner down and even brought a new motor for passenger side and still nothing, then switched motors and casings with driver side to test the motor and clipped it on and it worked so the motor isnt fried it just doesn't seem to move for some reason whereas the driver side does (im in UK btw so driver side is right hand side) next step is take the whole roof out and try to force the stuck side open with a screwdriver or something as im all out of ideas, passenger side hinge/arm just wont open at all for some reason, hope this helps

Hello. It would be helpful if you can send the file to be able to do it in the 3d printer. I would greatly appreciate

That too looks like a stronger 3D printed part. Do let us know how it works for you.

Hi I see I've met the club of Mercedes sunroof handlers. If you are still offering parts that would help a lot. I have a 2016 c300 going through the same issue right now. I will PM you.
Thank You!

I believe nobody got any answer from him, but if you need that small shoe I would recommend to order it from some internet site as I shared above. There are plenty of them on ebay and similar sites. I did and in few weeks I could tell you how it looks like

So people I can confirm that shoes came and they should be ok and suitable. Also found a video (on german but easy to understand) how to fit them in. I personally didn't manage to or even didn't try as it rains and Weather is bad every day, but did compare with old ones and should be easy and should work. A cheap solution for everyone.

Do you know a decent specialist - I am on borderof 16 & 86 and have this issue on my S class. Newly moved here I don't know of a specialist yet?
Hello Kaurinho, have you been able to install the shoes? Wondering if you can share your experience and tips on how to install them. TIA!

Hi. Nope I didn't even try. Had really little time to try. I will drive to vacation in 2-3 weeks and try do it back home where all my buddies are and could help if something goes wrong. I surely did check how it should go and how it looks like, definitely 2 persons work and shouldn't be complicated. Everything should go smooth and easy and if it stucks somewhere we need to be very very careful.
