Re: 2008 Smart Car pano roof does it need special Mercedes adhesive?
There are two different kits. One for the transparent roof and a different one for the opaque roof. Get the right one and follow the instructions to the letter. There is not a suitable aftermarket equivalent available. Experience is a great and unforgiving teacher.
