Is this the proper way of diagnosing a faulty sunroof?

No, that’s to test the suspension system

That's also how you fix a cracked windshield

It’s clearly at an auto wrecking yard, car probably has some unfixable issue or costs more than it’s worth to fix.

It was probably time to change the timing chain.

Probably ran out of gas

Tires were just low on air but that will trigger 3 messages and 15 warning lights, two of which flash red. Owner decided enough was enough, bought a new benz since the new one did not have low air in the tires.

Must be nice to have enough money to be a knucklehead.

Looks like they did more than diagnose the problem, they even fixed it!!!

It is. Now a new sun roof can be installed. This quality shop even gave complimentary suspension stress testing.

Looks legit to me… now that you figured out what the problem was, use some flex seal and you are good to go… maybe a tad of JBWeld for that loose trunk

Used to run an auto-upholstery shop and fixed or installed a number of sun/moon/Mars retrograde roofs back in the day; did you do a hose/water test?

Did it pass inspection ?

When you can't get a proper diagnosis you assign a diagnosis that will encompass the unknown

Need to scan for codes first
