I was cleaning out the wifes ML320 and rediscovered the manual sunroof handle amongst other things (!); this made me wonder if the W116 had such an item (ie am I missing it?) - as in the event you cant close the sunroof electrically, what does one do??
sigh....sitting back contemplating the next purchase..!

There should be a small tool which is clamped to your sun roof motor in the luggage compartment. With this small (5 cm long) tool or actually an adapter you are able to use your normal socket wrench to close the sunroof in emergencies from the motor directly.

OK, sorry I had no idea the motor for the roof was in the boot - where exactly?

Its attached on a frame on the side wall of the boot behind the upholstery, close to the rear wheel well, (just opposite the gas tank filler)
