Yep, she could probably put a layer of DARK (anti-UV) film on inside of the
sun/moon roof, too. Just drove to Sam's and back; can probably bake cookies
in the unoccupied black car on a 90° day like today. The glass sun/moon
roof is tinted and has a shade pulled across under it, but there's a
"heating" space between it and underside of the glass and vent holes in the
shade, so that glass section of roof serves as an additional cabin heater.
I wouldn't mind blocking ALL of the UV/heat sneaking through that hole. The
black paint soaks up plenty of heat to spare; I don't need a piece of glass
overhead adding even more.
Wonder how much more that ridiculous piece of glass in the roof has cost me
already and will continue to cost me above the cost of a sensible steel roof
with no hole in it?.

No more purple trim.
'First thing I noticed about my new-to-me MB 211 was the slightly
purple
trim across bottom of windows and vertically at front edge of
triangular
windows in rear doors. The trim pieces are anodized aluminum that were
originally gloss black like rest of car. I was able to overlook the
purple
trim enough to go go ahead and buy the car, thinking that I'd replace
them
or paint them.
Well, few days ago, I got serious about doing something about it;
finally
realized I could wrap/cover them with glossy vinyl tape.
Daughter came for short visit couple days ago and asked if I might have
a
project she could do. My reply, "Yes, Indeed!" I had received the
tape
for the project the day before she came. I quickly and easily removed
the
trim under the windows and brought 'em inside, where we (mostly, she)
did a
beautiful job of covering them. 'Covered the two vertical pieces at
front
edge of the triangular windows this morning. Now, all of the window
trim
is nice, glossy black like it's s'posed to be - no more purple!
