Sagging and bunched up panoramic roller sunblind

Anyone else have an issue with their panoramic sunshade? Mine is sagging when it’s closed and gets bunched up when I open it. Seems like it’s off a track or something. Can’t seem to fix it. Any advice? Looked to see if there was a thread on this topic, can’t seem to find one.

I tried to post a video, but it doesn’t seem to want to let me. Here are some picture.

That’s how it looks open.


That’s closed. You can see it’s not taut at all.

Never had that (yet) but I do hear vibration when I go over a bump that seems to come from the pano. I’ve tried to troubleshoot but I don’t think I hear when the sunroof is open. It’s also very hard to replicate.

You need to let the dealer look at that.

I’m dumbfounded by why you post here instead of emailing Your Mercedes Service Rep who will fix it for free.

Nope, not normal at all, mine does not do that. That will be a warranty repair by the dealer.

No more MB:(
Take it to the dealer. Why post this when you can simply take it in for repair? Warranty.

It was Sunday night with a holiday on Monday when I posted this. I will take it in, but if there was an “easy fix”, I’d just do it myself.

Never seen that, so my guess is it’s defective....likely a clip holding a spring to keep it taught broke, or was installed incorrectly.

Man that looks horrible. I typically leave my sunshade open; just like the sense of having it open.

But yes, definitely something that the warranty will cover. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

This sort of issue is best directed to your service advisor at the dealership who will fix it under warranty.

It was fixed under warranty. Service Manager said he has seen a few like this. He gave no explanation of what causes the issue.

Same Issue with sunshade bunching up when opened

First, I want to say, I setup an account here to converse on this topic but was quickly turned off by people confused as to why you would pose this question vs going to the dealer. I personally just got my vehicle back from servicing and another trip to handle a different issue and I'm not anxious to return if there is something I can reset that might address the issue. But even if that wasn't the case. How low do you have to be to take such a negative approach in response to someone else's post. If you can't be helpful, dont. Scroll on. It's safe to assume that everyone knows they can go to the service center. Even for the things you feel comfortable doing yourself. Just try not being an 🫏🕳️ all the time. Super uncool.

That said. I'm having this same Issue and checking here too see if anyone has tried something that worked before I leave myself back at the service center. My vehicle is a 22 AMG GLE 53 Coupe.

I think the thread pretty much answers your questions.

If you have another one please ask it.
