Sorry to hear about your problems, sounds tough. Please define what you mean by “pay $6K to put in defective parts”.
I would advise you to visit another dealership and get a second opinion and more importantly, to see if the recall affects your vehicle. Also, please tell us the diagnosis so we can advise you on next steps. hopefully its something minor.
It’s possible that this is a relatively simple issue. I would also suggest opening the sunroof completely and checking for any debris like twigs or pebbles that may prevent the roof from closing Completely. Also make sure everything is lubricated properly and the seal isn’t damaged. This is probably something the dealer can do when you take it in.
If the second dealer says that the recall isn’t for your car and they also quote you on a replacement, don’t do it right away. Go to a reputable independent technician in your area that has experience with Mercedes-Benz. Ask them if they can seal off the sunroof As there will most likely be a way to do it. Also see what it will cost to repair the old parts.
