Pano Glass on Highway
Hi All,
I have 2018 c300 with Pano roof option. I like to keep it open on most nice days. I do a lot of highway driving at 80mph. When I look back sometimes at the piece of glass hanging when the roof is open at high speed i can see the glass waving up and down. Am I to trust the integrity of this and just keep on ? Should I be worried for a potential future catastrophe?

Never thought about it, but if it was a problem they would have programmed it such that it automatically closes above a certain speed. I honestly never really open it above a certain speed. Just gets way too noisy. I tilt it up sometimes and if you pay attention it actually slightly lowers itself above a certain speed and then raises up again if you fall below that speed. You can hear it, when it does it.

OK now you have me worried. I do a lot of highway driving around 75-80. Never looked back to see what’s happening to the glass. But on a good note I’ve never had any issues. Also have a 2018.

After this thread, you gonna see few w205s on the news "accident on hwy benz travelling 70mph+ crashes into ****, driver dazed and confused and says just looking at the sky"
Yeah not happening. Let the pano fly off from the car, going to try to maintain a straight line and eyes on the road.

I never drive with the roof fully open on the highway. You can see it's hard on wind baffle and you risk breaking that part. I also noticed that when I have the roof tiled, I can see that it closes and opens depending on my speed.
