2010 Mercedes E350 Base Sedan
Does the 2010 E350 base sedan with standard sunroof have a wind deflector?

I'm used to having those popup wind deflectors at the front of the sunroof when opened. My 2010 E350 base sedan with standard sunroof does not have one.

I searched around and could not find an answer. Anything I found referred to the panoramic sunroof, which I do not have.

Did my E350 come with one from the factory?

Wow, I don't remember, my car has the pano, when my wife gets home in an hour, I will send you a picture of hers. Maybe it's there, just not coming up as it should?

Should be there, maybe not as pronounced as your previous vehicles.

Item #470 is your air dam. It is super basic and should be reliable.

It's about 1.5 Inch tall held in place by two side springs acting as ramps for the glass slab.

Was vehicle purchased new or CPO from MB dealer or used from independent, discussion with them may be in order here is VIN specific EPC diagram 470 is not grayed out therefore, should exist.

Thank you all for letting me know. I have no recourse with the seller. I don't have much history. That's why I'm doing all the preventative maintenance now.

Follow up requests in bold, if you all would be so kind.

I plan on either living with it or lurking on ebay until one shows up. Recommendations for used sources are welcome. Not many junk yards around me. I miss those.

VIN is WDDHF5GB7AA161047 if that helps nail down parts or equivalent models.

North American here - Must my donor cars only be 2010-2012 W212 E350 (pre-facelift)?

Any other donor options among these?:
  • 2013-2016 W212 facelift - did that part of the car change?
  • Is the S212 E350 wagon the same up top?
  • Other models E300? E63? E550? - I think these are the North American models.

Thanks, I'll tell the wife, I guess in retrospect it is the focal point of the picture, LOL. Did you see the cloth mesh wind deflector on my '12? wow.

The cloth mesh wind deflector, check your lower side of it where there is a steel frame locking the mesh fabric, mine rusted a bit here and there.
These mesh fabrics is a water soaker. Rain and car washing will soak it wet wet wet.....
Now I blow dry that mesh fabric after every car washing and after rain...dang, enslaved by it

Oh my, good to know I'll check, In response to RWagz parts questions, my answer is, I don.t know how many models the part crosses, but these cars are different year to year, might be best to stick to a pre-facelift '10-'13 car for used part. I use AutohausAZ and MercedesBenzStarParts.com, the later is a discount parts place run out of a Benz dealer I believe in Santa Cruz CA. I'm pretty sure you can search E-bay by part number as well.

I'm seeing two different versions here. It appears that the standard sunroof has a solid bar and the panoramic roof as a mesh panel.

Middle picture here https://www.mercedesbenzstarparts.co.../body--sunroof shows
204-780-00-44 Deflector, Draft Deflector Sedan 2010-11 without panorama roof



The used ones on ebay have spring loaded arms to pop up:

Correct, I believe yours is the solid bar.

Do you have the part number for #480? I believe I need that one too.

Ask Konigstiger directly, he is a huge forum asset.

If the VIN in this capture is yours the only part you need is 2047800044 (470), 480 is grayed out meaning not applicable to VIN: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post8624842

Thank you for the clarification. I thought grey meant "unavailable for purchase." Thank you for pulling it from EPC.

The online parts lookup diagrams at mercedesbenzstarparts.com and autohausaz don't appear to be the same as EPC. They lack the detail that I see in @pierrejoliat 's pictures where I see arms and leaf springs. That's what threw me off.

I found this online EPC that is much more accurate!
https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/e...56/d02/78/045/
(But it lacks the grayed out applicability information and doesn't explain multiple part numbers for the same part)

Found cross reference information here, which should help me lurk on ebay for one:
https://mbparts.mbusa.com/oem-parts/...7800044?c=az0x

It looks like this part was used on many models.
