2024 GLC43 sunshade closes upon locking car

Hello all,

I've started noticing lately that after I return to my car the sunshade is closed ?! does anyone know what is causing this , a setting somewhere or some kind of lock glitch ?

thanks

On my 2018 GLC43, the sunroof will close if the vehicle detects rain...perhaps something similar is happening with yours?

Strange ... although I heard about the sunroof closing but in winter the sunroof is never opened and I wonder what determines the sunshade closing

Here’s what I found. Seems the shade will close if the temperature is high enough. Good idea I think.


Automatic and Safety Features
The vehicle is equipped with intelligent features designed for convenience and safety:
  • Automatic Reversing: If the sunshade or sunroof encounters an obstacle during the closing process, it will automatically reverse slightly to prevent trapping or damage.
  • Sensor-Based Closing:The sunroof (and by extension the sunshade) may close automatically if the vehicle is switched off and a rain sensor detects precipitation or in extreme temperature conditions.
