The sunshades are both power operated and roll into the middle section. The only thing I am dissappointed with the pano roof is that you lose the one-touch closing feature of the sunroof. =(
As far as the heat goes, you don't really notice the difference as long as you keep the shades closed.
If it opens up and out, does that make it noisier than the standard sunroof where it retracts inside though I am sure Benz must have addressed it with the deflector.

Do you or Brad has the picture of the pano roof when it fully opens.

ill take one tomorrow. what happens is - the front sun roof lifts up vertically about 3 " then, it slides back, going OVER the back sunroof, so its still transparent through the back sunroof, with the front sunroof completely open.

small point on the MB Gift keychain. Its so heavy it actually makes the key fall of your hand. It happened 3 times, before I caught on, and so I took it off. I actually liked the MB wallet they sent me. I'm going to call for another one. Its fantastic.

i bought two, one for my dad, which was silver, and one for me which was the same color as urs, a bit greyish silver, the greyish silver parts scratched off and u could see the stainless parts from underneath. I stopped using a keychain... i think the keys are cooler solo.

By the way in this pic it looks like you were on the wrong side of the road?

hehe
im a great driver - and was fine!
!!!

Of course, driving on the wrong side of the road is fun too BOND JAMES BOND!!!!!!

Strange how they just drop it so near the intersection? Why don't you just pick it up from the dealership, was it too far away?
