Panorama Roof
I've owned a number of Mercedes over the years and all of them have had a sunroof. I didn't/don't actually open the roof very often but it is nice when I do. My last one before the GLC was a 2012 ML. The ML had the standard roof and it was fine.
The GLC Pano roof is quite different from all of the others in the way it is designed and built and this is not a complaint.
It has a substantial mesh contraption (nylon?) that rises up in the front and partially along the sides of the opening. All of my previous cars had a small, angled, deflector up front. These devices are presumably to limit the wind and noise from entering the cabin. This one definitely limits the wind but might make a little more noise. I worry that it might serve as a magnet for flying insects, leaves etc.
It appears to all be of very high quality materials and nicely constructed. Again, I am not complaining but thought it was interesting. Anyone know more about it? The attached photo shows it pretty well.

It is a bit noisy. I have to agree. But, then again, I have not heard any other car with a quieter one.
Funny thing is . . . We've had this car for a month now and only just discovered the glass panel opens fully! Thanks to your thread and pic.
