Panoram window, opening?

Hello,

We just purchased our second E320, a new platinum blue 2003 E320 with the panoram option. The onwers manual seems to imply that this sunroof over the rear passengers opens. The shades roll back on both, per the owners manual, but I can only get the front sunroof to open. Does the rear one open and if so, how? I'm getting frustrated!

Thanks.
-Tom

Tom - the rear panel is fixed and does not open. It would be cool if it did open but it doesn't. Don't worry - you'll enjoy the pano roof.

Yeah you can't open the rear one. does it really say on the manual that the back one open? But it's real nice to have the Panoramic roof.. enjoy it...

Thank you for replying, I'll re-read the owners manual, it was ambigous to me.

Are you guys able to close the pano roof with one touch? I can open it with one touch but I have to hold the switch forward to close it.

Same here - one touch open, gotta hold it to close it all the way. I liked the way Audi did that on my S4 - just turn the dial to whatever opening size you wanted or turn the dial back to stop and it would close by itself. Maybe another thing MB can change with a software upgrade??? Right.
