Sunroof broken?

Hello,
I did some research and I cannot find anyone else with the same issue in a GLC. A few months ago, I went to go open my sunroof in my 2017 GLC300 4Matic SUV (not coupe), and the driver side of the sunroof tilted open however the passenger side stayed shut. I kept trying to close and reopen it and it kept doing the same thing. Thankfully, it isn’t leaking and when it’s shut it’s fine. I would like to know if this is an expensive or cheap fix. I saw lots of CLA and GLA owners have this issue and some said it was a $12 part and others said it was a $3k to $5k fix. Would love to have this fixed however I would like to know what the issue is so I don’t have to spent $195 on a diagnostic from the dealer.

This place is a joke.
If you're too cheap to pay $200 to diagnose your Mercedes-Benz then you're certainly too cheap to have it repaired. First Mercedes?

I didn't remember mentioning anything about cost in my response did I? Was really looking for root cause and potential fixes/diagnoses. Isn't that what this forum is for Troll?

I was responding to the O.P. however are you also too cheap to spend $200 for a diagnosis?

Maybe try posting, or searching, in the x253 GLC forum for an answer. A lot of ppl are confused and moderators aren’t doing a good job of moving threads anymore, but this forum is for the yet to be released in the US 2023 x254 GLC.

not my first benz, my family and i both have been buying them for decades. i saw somewhere that it’s a $12 fix so why pay $200 for a diagnostic if it’s such a little repair…? exactly.

Eqs 580 sunroof explosion

Cruising along the highway visiting our friends in the mountains on a beautiful sunny day in Colorado. Suddenly, a terrifying boom and we looked up to see our sunroof shattered. 9 month old Mercedes EQS 580. Hopefully MB will stand behind the vehicle and replace the sunroof with something that doesn’t shatter.
