sunroof configuration
Is there a way to make the sun roof open/close by a single push of a button rather than to hold the button until it's finally finished? it's funny how my '98 explorer and many cheaper cars have this feature. also if it is possible, would it automatically be synchronized with the windows when I use the smart key feature to open/close everything? thanks for the advice..

if you stand next to your either front doors and hold the unlock key and wait the windows will open. and if you hold the lock button all windows will close.
hope thats what your looking for.

thanks for the reply, but no that's something different. i actually had that on my '98 c class. hah. my problem is that each time i open the sun roof i have to sit there and hold the button until it's fully open. with many inexpensive cars you just press it once and it opens on its own. i was wondering if there's a way to make it one touch. and if so, how?

Shaggy: resynch your sunroof
The one-touch open feature is there (at least for MY2002 and MY2003...)
You can probably feel when you push the sunroof switch in the SLIDE OPEN direction (toward the back of the car) that there are two positions.
When you hold the switch half-way-back, the sunroof will keep moving until you let go of the switch.
When you push the switch all-the-way back as far as the switch will go and then let go, the one-touch-open feature should make the sunroof slide all the way back to the position it has memorized. If you try this and it doesn't go very far before stopping, you just need to resynchronize it to make it go all the way open.
Read through your owner's manual under the "resynchronizing" the sunroof and you will see an explanation. It goes something like this...
You clear the old memorized position by closing the sunroof all the way. Then push UP on the switch and hold it for 5 seconds in the TILT UP position, then pull the switch down (and hold it) in the CLOSED position for 5 seconds.
Then, the first time you hold the switch in the Half-way-back position, the window will start sliding back, and when you let go*, it will memorize this new position as the one-touch-open limit.
(*it's sort of like that...It could be that instead of letting go to set the new spot, that you push it to All-the-way-back position and THEN let go to set the new spot.)
There are also numerous posts in this W-220 forum on the same subject. Good luck.
