If it is same drive unit as on later models, there is a white knob on
the drive unit, which can be pulled out to "adjustment position" and
turned slightly to one or the other side to adjust the sunroof settling
position.
Each time after adjusting, it must be pushed in before trying the
operation.
When pulled out, the drive unit is disengaged from the sunroof cable,
and when turned a little, it adjusts the position of the drive gear,
which actuates some microswitches to determine the closed position of
the roof.

Thanks Jens,
Where might I find this white knob? Love these Benz diesels. Recently
bought a beautiful orig owner 300SD with 102k and all records.
Regards,
Rob

As I said, I am not shure if your model uses the same sunroof system as
later models. But with the symptom you describe, it could well be so.
The white knob is on the sunroof drive unit itself. This unit is
located in the left side of the trunk behind the covering.
The drive unit is attached to a cable, which drives the sunroof, and
the mentioned adjustment aligns the drive unit understanding of the
roof position with the actual position.
