no auto close sunroof nor reverse mirror tilt?

Does the 2007 R class really not have either of these functions? I have the panoramic roof if that matters. I didn't see anything in the owner's manual about these. Are either of these DIY retrofit-able?

My previous MBs had both of those.

My '11 doesn't have auto close on my pano roof, either, but I do have reverse mirror tilt. Try selecting the passenger mirror button, then shirt into reverse, set the mirror to the setting you want when reversing, then back into drive. It should tilt the next time you reverse...

My 07 R pano is not one touch to close.
My mirror does dip in reverse. Make sure it's selected to passenger side. If not the dealer can probably program it in.

The Pano roof has one touch opening but not one touch closing (safety reasons, I think).

The tip down passenger mirror has to be set first. Press the passenger side mirror button. Engage reverse (foot on brake). Adjust the passenger mirror to the position you want using the pad. When you shift out of reverse, the mirror returns to its original position and the parking position is stored in memory. Next time you use reverse, the mirror will tip down (assuming the left side mirror button isn't pressed).

Is the tip down mirror an option or do they all have it?

Good point - it was standard my year (2011) but maybe not on the earlier years.

There's a good resource for Owner's manuals here:
