adding a sunroof to an old wagon ? 200

Hmmmmm. I've thought about the same thing. I'd sure like a sunroof in my wagon. But--In the 200 series, only the sedans got sunroofs. The roof on the wagon has a little different front-to-rear profile--it rises higher at the midpoint. So if you pulled a sunroof and its frame from a sedan and installed everything just right, the sliding panel would be about an inch too low at the rear of the opening.

I would say, try this first on a junker and see whether you can adapt the frame so the panel can be raised up to the right height. Otherwise it just isn't going to work.

One more thing. Since there isn't such a thing as a sunroof headliner for a wagon, you'll need to splice the headliner from the sedan with your existing headliner. I'm sure it can be done but if you want it to look factory fresh it will take some real craftsmanship. Maybe you can just cut a hole in the wagon headliner and bead the edge, but this is something else I'd try on a junker first.

If you pull this off, I for one and I bet lots of other people will want to see your pics.
