Third row windows

Does anyone know if the third row windows are operable or not?

In an earlier review it was mentioned and also in an early feature release as something that came with the pano roof. However, after those two early references I never heard anything more. I have the pano roof and when I took delivery the dealer did not think so and I was not able to find a switch for them anywhere. Even without them it's a very nice car. Very happy. No regrets.

What a bummer.
I have a 2014 GL63 that is able to flare out the third row windows. The button is on driver's door next to the trunk release.
I usually like to open them when on the highway rather than cracking a window for fresh air into the cabin.

I always opened the back windows when the sunroof open to stop the air noise. So do you just open the rear windows then if the third row windows don’t open?

3rd row windows do not open even though it is still incorrectly listed as offering that capability in the build sheet.

I am a bit curious exactly under what Package or Option does someone here "see" Power Rear Quarter Windows on a 2020 Build/Spec sheet ?

It is certainly Not Listed under any of the Options or Packages that I have ordered or sold to my GLS customers..

Under the Panoramic Roof option, it often has the description online of “pop out 3rd row windows”.

Well... any 2020 GLS (or 2021 GLS63) build configuration with Panorama Sunroof says exactly "Panorama Sunroof" , nothing more and nothing less.

Fabbrisd1, If you do a quick Google search you’ll see at least 7 different dealerships that are incorrectly advertising the 2020 GLS as having “pop out 3rd row windows.” I’m guessing it’s cut and paste style errors from ads for the prior generation GLS.

All features are called out on a Window Sticker or Mercedes Build/Spec Sheet - the automated posting systems used by those dealer's obviously has a fault as you have pointed out.
