My wagon is all black on top, soaking up UV and heat making the inside an oven while parked in the sun.
Been considering wrapping the top, either body metallic silver, or a lighter color to reflect more sun and UV away from the surface.
Not sure if this is doable, don't know the first thing about wrapping..
Anybody been there, done that?

Would suggest posting in the W213 forum as you will find owners there

Not really a W213 question, wrapping a black sunroof could be any model MB.

I understand but the reason I suggest posting there because not a lot of people come to this sub-forum so people who did it might not had noticed your post.

I guess you can ceramic tint it, this forum member did but not a S213:

Great idea tinting the sunroof, I will look into it, thanks.

Sorry please do not tint the sunroof yet. I am glad you replied and bringing my attention to this thread again, I would advise to NOT tint the sunroof now. There are cases of suspected cause of sunroof shattering due to the tint. The reason being the tint will absorb heat putting stress on the glass.

Ouch, ok...

Sorry about that... so um... back to the drawing board?

I had posted this in another thread related to this discussion. I personally don't think it's an issue based on my research:
