Yes it is possible, and when you get the sunroof put in, they actually weld supporting beams on your roof to even strength the integrity of your roof.

Webasto makes aftermarket sunroofs that look very nice. Webasto is the OEM for Mercedes.

Also look at ASC, but they have had terrible warranty issues.

You're gonna have to spend approx $1000 US to get one put in.

THere is nothing wrong with adding a sunroof if you want as long as you use Webasto or ASC sunroofs. Remember, Webasto is the OEM for most car manufacturers. They have a lifetime warranty as well.. Just make sure you go to a Webasto distributor/installer that you can trust.

I've seen many new car dealerships using aftermarket Webasto sunroofs in it's cars for their customers.

I am in no way affiliated to any of these companies. Just telling you off by experience.

The answer that MBENZL gave you, is just a generic answer without any real thought or real insight.

Waiting for his answer, please consider that MBENZL's opinion on Mercedes, and W202 in particular is, as per my exeprience in this and other similar forum, really a matter to well consider as a good suggestion.
