	Preparation
1	Prepare adhesive cartridge.	Adhesive material can be pressed out with a commercially available electric squeeze gun or a pneumatic squeeze gun with piston rod.	AR77.21-P-1000-01A
		Adapter	Fig 3
	Remove
2	Remove left and right drip rail.	Model 205.0/1/3 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Model 222 with code 398 (Panoramic Roof With MAGIC SKY CONTROL) with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof) with code 398 (Panoramic Roof With MAGIC SKY CONTROL)
		Model 222 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)	AR88.80-P-4000LF
3	Determine gap dimension (A) between front stationary element (1) and windshield (2) and note down.	Feeler gauge	Fig 1
4	Determine gap dimension (B) between front stationary element (1) and panoramic Sliding Sunroof (3) and note down.	Feeler gauge	Fig 1
5.1	Cover paint surfaces on left and right in area of front stationary element (1) with shields.	Model 205.0/1/3 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Model 222 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof) Set of shields	Fig 2
5.2	Mask off left and right roof railing in area next to front stationary element (1) with suitable fabric tape.	Model 205.2 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Model 253 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Adhesive fabric tape	*BR00.45-Z-1062-02A
6	Saw off an approx. 5 mm to 10 mm wide strip from front edge of front stationary element (1).	Saw carefully. Otherwise the seal on the windshield (2) can be damaged. Observe cutting depth when sawing. Otherwise, front panoramic Sliding Sunroof frame can be damaged. Commercially available devices/tools  Oscillating saw with round sawing blade
7	Saw off an approx. 5 mm to 10 mm wide strip from left and right edges of front stationary element (1).	Saw carefully. Otherwise, left or right roof railing can be damaged. Observe cutting depth when sawing. Otherwise, front panoramic Sliding Sunroof frame can be damaged. Commercially available devices/tools  Oscillating saw with round sawing blade
8	Open panoramic Sliding Sunroof (3) completely.
	Risk Of Injury  due to snapping or warming up of cutting wire and due to splinters when cutting out glued panoramic roofs	Wear cut-proof gloves and safety glasses.	AS77.21-Z-0002-01A
9	Cut out adhesive bead (4) of front stationary element (1) with cutting wire and remove front stationary element (1) from panoramic Sliding Sunroof frame.	Model 205.2 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Model 253 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Carefully insert cutting wire in area of left and right roof railing. Otherwise, the left or right roof railing will be damaged. Helper required.
	Install
10	Prepare panoramic Sliding Sunroof frame for installation of the front stationary element (1).	Only use the repair kit approved by the manufacturer from the replacement part system.  Otherwise, adhesion problems will occur.	AR77.21-P-0803-03NKA
11	Prepare front stationary element (1) for installation.	Before starting work, all component parts, materials, and tools must be prepared for the installation of the front stationary element (1). Otherwise it may not be possible to maintain permissible processing and joining times. Only use the repair kit approved by the manufacturer from the replacement part system.  Otherwise, adhesion problems will occur.	AR77.21-P-0803-02NKA
12	Apply adhesive material for the front stationary element (1).	Apply adhesive material as quickly as possible and position front stationary element (1) on the body flange and fix it in place. Otherwise, the strength of the adhesively bonded connection is impaired and the required adhesion of the adhesive material is not guaranteed. Only use the repair kit approved by the manufacturer from the replacement part system.  Otherwise, adhesion problems will occur.	AR77.21-P-0803-04NKA
13	Close panoramic Sliding Sunroof (3).
14	Install front stationary element (1) with a helper.	Do not move vehicle for at least 10 h after gluing in front fixed element (1). Otherwise, the strength of the adhesively bonded connection is impaired and the required adhesion of the adhesive material is not guaranteed. To load front stationary element (1), use weights with large surfaces, e.g. sandbags. Otherwise, front stationary element (1) will be damaged. Observe gap dimensions (A, B) and transitions (C). Front stationary element (1) must be flush with the panoramic Sliding Sunroof (3) on the left and right. Commercially available devices/tools  Cup suction tool	AR77.21-P-0803-05CW

15	Install left and right drip rail.	Model 205.0/1/3 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Model 222 with code 398 (Panoramic Roof With MAGIC SKY CONTROL) with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof) with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)	AR88.80-P-4000LF
16.1	Remove shields.	Model 205.0/1/3 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Model 222 with code 398 (Panoramic Roof With MAGIC SKY CONTROL) with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)
16.2	Remove tape strips from left and right roof railing.	Model 205.2 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Model 253 with code 413 (Panoramic Sliding Sunroof/Glass Roof)   Adhesive fabric tape	*BR00.45-Z-1062-02A
17	Remove strips of adhesive tape and weights for loading the front stationary element (1).	Remove adhesive strips and weights only after adhesive material is cured. Otherwise, the position of front stationary element (1) may change.
	Clean
18	Clean working area.
