I agree with point 1. Point 2 I'll disagree with if you're using all OEM parts. If it's all OEM it looks just like it rolled off the factory floor with it. But in either case, if the shade will come in 2014, it may be worth waiting for because it sounds like you may need a whole new headliner which would be expensive and a time consuming job.

With regard to the retrofit quality..... I meant the quality of the "installation work" not the product itself. Perhaps you have the ability to to it yourself.....otherwise thats where my concern about quality comes in.

Ah yes, noted. You've got to find a tech that you can trust and knows will do the right job. Luckily I found that tech to do my rear shade and vented seat retrofits so that's why that part of the equation no longer enters my mind.

I do have one complaint about my 13 GL550. The door lock pins that go up and down when the door is locked and unlocked. When locked they should go down flush with door panel. When reaching out to say ATM or drive through window they stabbed you right in your arm pit..This is my first Mercedes so are all of them like this????

Some model lines have more attractive door pins that sit flush when the door is locked. I always thought the ones on your GL (and many other MBs INCLUDING the SLS AMG) that stick up look really cheap. I replaced the ones on my R-Class with OEM AMG aluminum pins that are shorter and sit flush when locked. If you click on my build thread, you'll find pictures of said door pins somewhere in there.

Ok thanks. I will check that out!!!!

I think the Pano Roof will be an option even on the GL63. So you could avoid the problem by staying with the standard sunroof - which is fine. I just think the pano, with sun shades, would be great for the kids sitting in the 2nd and 3rd rows. My kids like the glass roof in the second row of our Enclave a lot. Not sure I want to do without that but need to figure that one out.

I have not seen anything about an MB fix for that in 2014 on the forums. Where did you hear that . . .

Post 18 of this thread some guy mentioned it. To be honest, may not be that big of a deal if there's no shade on the rear portion of the sunroof. The glass is already tinted.

But in actuality, I'll have to see this actual sunroof in person to assess its real world feasibility.

Congratulations!

We have/had panoramic roofs on all our SUVs and you know what, we've never used them. The kids are too busy playing games and watching movies back there. I'm not paying extra for the pano roof in the future.

I am interested in these wheels if they are the NEW 21" 5 double spoke wheel. If you can email me arnie@globemotorsports.co or call me at 866 354 5623.
my name is Arnie.

Thanks.

Well pano roof is standard on the GL63 so it doesn't look like you have to worry about it.

Congrats, I took delivery of the a 550 as well and love it. Wondering however if your cornering lights are working? Mine are not.

yes mine work. when you start your GL does your headlights self adjust. you can see this if there is something in front of you to see the reflection of the lights?

Congrats! I took delivery of a silver one. Curious to know if your cornering lights are working?
