R Class Sunshades on 2nd Row Windows
I don't know if anybody has looked closely at the 2nd row windows, but I noticed a "slot and tab" at the base of the window. I sent MBUSA an email and asked about it and here is their reply:

MB in some of their literature speaks of "dual sunvisors" as part of the Comfort or Sunroof Packages, but no mention of Sunshades.

Wow, that definitely is a sunshade...
The Rs I saw today definitely did NOT have this... see pics. guess it's part of some package? these were R500s in these pics, so it's not that those are on a 500 but not a 350.

This looks like the Saks 5th Avenue package they announced. The Sunshade is only on the cars with the Comfort Package selected as an Option per MB in the response above. Again great shots.

2006 r-class sunshade not working
I have a 2006 r-350 with panoramic sunroof, the sunroof works perfectly, but I can not get the the power sunshade to close, anyone have any idea what may be causing this. Is it a motor failure if so where is the motor located, could there be a bad relay, if so where is it located.
Thx

Has the battery been disconnected. If so you will need to resync the motor. There is a procedure in the owners manual that is easy to follow. Hope this helps

R Class sun shade
The procedure for synchronizing the Power tilt/sliding sun roof is on page 258. After service by the MB dealership my sun roof and shade jammed open. My first thought was the fuse, when this was OK, then the time and cost required to change the motors.
I then found the reference to synchronizing in the manual, and followed the synchronizing procedure and the sun shade and power sliding sun roof came back to life. Took me several attempts.
- Remove and reinsert the fuse for the power roof
- Fuse box located in the rear RHS of my R500
- Turn ignition on
- Close the sliding roof
-Then close and open the shade
- Ignition off and on
Hope this works out for you - If you have a sync issue the MB dealer service center should be able to do this is a few minutes.
