Why is 2010 E350 Sunroof is closing and tilting up?

vselva · 09-04-2009, 06:08 PM

My 2010 E350 Sport Sedan's Standard Sunroof closes then tilts up when I unlock the car in the mornings after locking in the nights (dark) with the sunroof open.
Local dealer re-produced this on another showroom 2010 E350 as well.
Mercedes Benz Technical Support has no explanation.

It's not clear if this is a feature or malfunction, but I really like to disable this.
Does anyone have the same experience, ideas or any explanation?

Thanks is Advance.

Shhhhh. We are probably going to have to pay extra for this feature now...

It may be the rain-closing feature; the sunroof closes automatically if it starts to rain, at extreme outside temperatures, after 12 hours, if there is a malfunction in the power supply. The rear of the sliding/tilting sunroof is then raised in order to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.

Is this documented somewhere in the manual?
I am going to take your word on this as there is no issues except the fact that I am unable to disable this feature. Thanks for your response.

There's nothing about the rain feature in my (Canadian) documentation.

Are you experiencing the same thing with your sunroof as well?

The European manual has it:

Well, there it is then vselva. It's a feature.

I always close the roof, so haven't experienced this.
