How about heat - now that it's getting hotter do you notice the temps higher than a solid roof?

Thanks!
Just posted a couple of videos to my thread showing the sun light with the shades open and closed. See post #28. Hope this helps...!

Resurrecting this thread now that my car has made it to the dealer. Was talking to them about tinting the roof & there tint guy recommended going with lighter tint as opposed to dark. Said the dark would trap more heat in the car? My main goal is blocking the light but don't want to create any extra heat doing so. Seems to me like it would be the opposite since it should block more heat. Any one noticed any extra heat build up with a heavy tint on the pano roof?

I have 15% on my Pano and I haven't felt any difference in the interior heat. However, I do keep the shade closed 50% of the time.

I highly recommend tinting the pano roof or not getting it at all. On my next car I won't be getting it since it does let extra heat in (the tint fixed a lot of that) and light (I could feel the strong sun here burning on my face even with it closed but without the tint). Also it does creak too.


The positive is that it does look good.

Many benefits to the p roof. I wanted to save the 140 lbs of weight so did not get it.

I don't even believe that is accurate. Go with darker as the others have done.

Yeah that's what I thought too. Told them to go with the darkest they can get. Shade being solid would have been perfect.

Can the rear power shade of the pano be controlled by a rear passenger? Mercedes says: "Dual interior power shades with controls allow the driver and each rear passenger to adjust the amount of sunlight entering the cabin."

Am I reading into that wrong? Can't find anything in the owner's manual or a way to do it in the car. Please chime in if you know something.

I think full Pano works great on a white car 👍
