Here is the story:

My '86 SDL has the slide/tilt roof.
Well the cable broke off the transport bridge last year.
The instructions in the CD and ALLDATA both say to slide the roof back 3/4 to remove the header panel.
The issue is that the roof is locked and I cannot slide it back! I can force it to tilt up maybe an inch, but it will not move back on it's rails

Does anybody know how to defeat the slide lock so I can push the roof back and remove the panel?

It is now open roof weather and I am dying here in the dark

Also is anybody parting out a W126 with a working slide/tilt roof? I probably need a transport bridge and a cable...

Thanks!


Joe
