ML 430 Skyview....

I have a ML 430 with skyview. Does anyone have this feature?
And if so, what do you guys do to mantain it, grease, oil etc.

Yes I heard alot of bad press having the skyview, but honestly, ever since I got i had ZERO problems.. (knock on wood:p)

Have heard a lot of bad press on this option. Know that the dealer I use has taken back at least 3 cars with the Skyview. One of which was at his shop for 3 months awaiting parts. This option has been discontinued and the excuse is it will not fit with the 02 side air bag curtains but the real reason is a poor history.

Skyview NOT moonroof :p

There's a difference. Well anyway, I guess I have a rare ML 430 ;P
It's pretty cool, when I go side to side with another ML and they look with much interest. They're like, wow what's that? way cool.

thanks
