Thats crazy. First the uniwiper, and now the vert hood is going!? that sucks. I miss headlight wipers too, now we got these lousy water squirters. My hood still goes straight up. I wonder why they changed it.

The car is in the shop, I will look tomorrow, and let myself prove me to be an idiot.

can't wait to see what you do with the 400, You seem to be damn tech on those other cars, Docta Sunman!!

Detroit?! Shouldn't you be driving a fat chevy? or atleast a fat Caddy, Docta? LOL

You're mistaken.

W211 hood/bonnet has same raise-to-vertical feature as the quaint little ol' W124.

I am soooooooooooooo mistaken! Sorry, everyone! I'm just a bozo! See, this is why I have no friends. LOL. (just a joke, Battlecat, don't get your panties in a knot)

I got my car back earlier from the shop then expected, double checked and wop wop, she went vertical. oops. Hey, but it was fun thinking for a second that we had the luck of not hitting our heads on the grille while the new E owners did. Isn't it?

Either way, I took pics to disprove my own word...

hey hey....there's not a damn thing wrong with Anaheim! BTW, you just figured this out? Do you know that you can roll your windows up or down with the key when you lock or unlock your doors? Or what about keeping your trunk locked while you lock and unlock your doors?

Yup, I use it all the time too. Every summer, when I am somewhere like
statebeach in SC, I park by the beach, use my key to roll down all the windows to blast music, and then lock only the trunk so no one can get to my cooler of beer.

I looked for the hood thing on the new benz a while ago, but it's not as obvious as the 124's. It looks like there is a better chance of smashing your finger, though... kinda danderous. Plus, Im letting a real mechanic do all the work on it!

When you park your car and you "forget" to roll up your windows after your car is off, close the door and insert your key as you do so to lock your car. Turn your key over to the right (just like you do to lock the car) and hold the key in that position. In about a second or two, you will see all of your windows roll up and if your sunroof is open, that too will close. To open your windows, turn the key over to the left (just like you would to unlock the car) and hold in that position. In about a second or two, you will see your windows roll down. However, your sunroof will not open.

Sweet Will this drop all the windows on the 300ce? Like, the two rear tiny ones? My switches are kinda finicky and the window actuators are going so I might need to use this method if the switches crap out before the actuators Good to know

To tell you the truth, Saijin, I am not sure but you should try it and let us know....You should be able to use the same method.
