Well, since most of us never bought the MB new, we don't have choices about sunroofs. Personally, I like the sunroof, especially the tilt up ones in 124 and 126. If I had a choice between identical cars, one with and one without sunroof, I'd still pick the sunroof. The problem now is that

Pour water into the (open) roof slowly and check to see how fast it drains (all four corners). The front wheel arches have a cover that needs to be removed (half a dozen machine screws) to get at the gunk that accumulates from the front drains. But if your wet area is in the back it's more

As I absorbed the collective knowledge on the W220 from the Benz World forum, I found it somewhat humorous that the W220 suffers from similar maladies. In the case of this car, you realize the rear drains are blocked when water starts pouring out of the back seat (ceiling) mirrors/reading

I was able to diagnose my 124 sunroof woe using a garden hose, after the interior of the car was dry and I had removed the carpet. I played water all over the front windshield and cowling, checked for water, sprayed the passenger side doors, checked again, and then sprayed the roof and finally

Ok, it is not really that bad, but in the recent torrential downpours, I am getting water in the driver side rear footwell. I don't remember getting that before, but maybe it did happen. The car was stored inside for years. Anyhow, the car has a new windshield and gasket, so I don't think
