Automatic Top Close Feature?

Hello

i have a 2019 E450 (A238) and yesterday about 5 minutes after I put the car in the garage (with the top down) I heard the horn beep. Later on when I went into the garage the top was closed and the car was completely locked.

I understand that the horn beep could have been me inadvertently pushing the lock button on the remote (I doubt it), but I certainly didn’t inadvertently hold the lock button on the remote for the 30 seconds it takes to close the top.

Is there an auto-close feature that I’m unaware of, or possibly electrical gremlins or a different explanation?

Thanks

never heard of it, you sure it wasn't something in your pocket pushing on the keys, or where you placed the keys, something is pushing on the buttons?
