Shattered panoramic roof.
My panoramic roof has shattered 2 times in the last 6 months. This car gets driven maybe once a month if that. Obviously their is a problem with these tops. Has anyone else had this problem? MB is trying to say a rock hit it but that’s what they said previously. The car was traveling on a two lane road with no one else on the road when the top made a loud pop noise. The entire length of the roof was cracked. We have owned this car for 1 year and this is the second time this had happened. $7,500 for a new roof. This is unacceptable!

Hi!

Welcome to MBWorld!

I see you have created a post in the X166 forum, hopefully another owner will be able to offer a reason for the panoramic roof shattering. Good luck!

Welcome! Please post a photo of the S-Class.

I would say this happens with some frequency, as noted by postings on this site.

Never heard of a pano roof shattering, especially twice within a 6 month period of time.
