Why is 2010 E350 Sunroof is closing and tilting up?
My 2010 E350 Sport Sedan's Standard Sunroof closes then tilts up when I unlock the car in the mornings after locking in the nights (dark) with the sunroof open.
Local dealer re-produced this on another showroom 2010 E350 as well.
Mercedes Benz Technical Support has no explanation.
It's not clear if this is a feature or malfunction, but I really like to disable this.
Does anyone have the same experience, ideas or any explanation?
Thanks is Advance.

It may be the rain-closing feature; the sunroof closes automatically if it starts to rain, at extreme outside temperatures, after 12 hours, if there is a malfunction in the power supply. The rear of the sliding/tilting sunroof is then raised in order to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.

I am going to take your word on this as there is no issues except the fact that I am unable to disable this feature. Thanks for your response.

I always close the roof, so haven't experienced this.

This seems to be resolved after dealer replaced the ceiling control panel for the sunroof & interior lighting due to a noisy fan. So now I'm confused if this was really a feature or a defect. Originally dealer also mentioned that he was able to re-produce this on his showroom car.

Car is in a closed garage at night, so I do not lock it, but I genenerally leave the sunroof tilted open. May go for 2-3 days without using the car and have never experienced any of this.
Have parked car in hot sun for hours and sunroof never tilted open unless I did it.

Previously the rain closing feature was disabled from US cars, I have not checked if it is different for the W212.

If you leave the sunroof tilted then you won't be able to re-produce my issue. It has to be left open all the way like I do. Thanks for the response.
