If your motor is audible and your fuses and connectors are okay, you may have to take a close look at the plastic gear parts up in the roof. The nylon parts do wear out since they are in the roof and more exposed to different temperatures. If any of that mechanism fails then your sunroof will stop working even if the motor is still good. It is a bit of a PITA to get to it since you will have to remove the headliner to get at the mechanism and then identify the worn part and replace it CAUTION: The sunroof system is timed from the factory so that the motor shuts off automatically when the sunroof window reaches a certain position. Extreme care must be taken when removing the motor, timing may be thrown off causing possible damage to the sunroof system. Anytime the motor is removed from the sunroof assembly the sunroof glass panel must be in the FULLY CLOSED POSITION or the unit will be out of timing. The drive motor cannot be reset to the park position after being removed.
CAUTION: The sunroof motor should only be powered through the vehicle battery and sunroof wire harness. Applying power to the sunroof motor leads will cause failure of the control module.

grinding along the track could mean that one of the cables are worn out. Not sure if it is a replacement part, but you can find out at a Mercedes Parts dealer.
to remove the sunroof, you will need to remove all the pillar panels in the interior (A, B and C pillars), after that you need to remove the roof panel in the interior. once you have done that you will have access to the sunroof.

If the transmission is slipping and I assume that is what you mean then it is going to need an overhaul. Once an auto transmission slips it is done.

well this is not easy unless you make a accessby removing anything in the way,or just take the headlight out ,How did you manage to open the bonnet as these vehicles from around this year started using a sealed bonnet that only the dealers can open with a special electronic key that uses rolling encrypted software.

Usually after removing any interior trim, there's a slide clip holding the assy. to the lid.

Hi, The rear and the front washers both use the same resevior. I think the fluid level sensor is at fault.
