I think 2014 was supposed to come with a removable third row sunshade. 2013 didn't have one.

So you can get one from the dealer (or ask them to give you one if they sold you the car)

Why did they discontinued the 3rd row sunroof? Was it a weight or a safety issue? I wish the newer models had 3rd row sunroof. No other SUV has a 3rd row sunroof, MB had it.

My 2014 came with the 3rd row sunshade.

interested to know why mb discontinued it as well. I have the 6 cd/dvd changer which I believe is discontinued. It comes in handy for my purposes of DVD’s for the rear entertainment system.
