Hi littlebenz21, welcome to the forum. These panoramic roofs have always been problematic. I have also been given a $3000 dollar estimate on the repair of my coupes panoramic... On your vehicle is it just the sunshade that is not working? I know exactly what you are talking about, because mine does the same thing if the sunshade is opened completely, but if your roof is still opening your not in as bad of condition as I am...

This is what I have to do in order to get the sunshade working again. First you need to remove the center light cover on the panoramic control panel located on the interior roof paneling. Just use a small flathead to pop the cover off. You will see two little slots on the cover where you insert a flathead to nudge it open. After you have the light cover off you will see two clips that can be pulled outward. These clips will unlock the entire control panel. To remove it pull the clips outward, and use the flathead again to nudge the panel down.

When you get the panel off do not unplug the wiring harness. Just let it hang there, and you will see two manual controls for the panoramic roof. You should have a wrench somewhere in your vehicle that will fit into the manual cranks. The left crank controls the opening, and closing of the panoramic roof. The right crank controls opening and closing of the sunshade. Turn the right crank some until the sunshade starts to close a little. After doing this replace everything, and the sunshade should now close with the electronic controls. You just have to avoid opening the sunshade completely, or it will get stuck in place again.

By the way, you should update your profile, user information, and signature for the forum. It's nice to see another coupe owner around. Hope to see you stay an active member of this forum. How many miles does your coupe have, and how much did you pay for it? Any plans for modification?
