Can somebody post a picture of the rear / left side of their car with sunshades all up and a picture with all down?

If possible, a car that has no tinted windows.

I would like to know if the sunshades give a 'tinted look' or that I still need to tint the back window to have a nice flow with the panoramic roof.

Thank you in advance.

That is the color of my car.

Shades down and up.. I like the small ones in the rear doors ,they fold up like a harmonica.

IRIDIUM

Tank you for THE effort.

1000 thanks.

Side Windows Will look great. Based on your pictures, I ll probablily only tint THE back window slightly, but it was impossible to order it with tintend back window from THE factory.

THE only reason I Will tint THE back window is to have THE look of one long window together with THE panoramic roof.

When time is right I will do a 15 percent tint all over, just to have the stealth look...

I too have this and I like it more than a tint. I go go dark or light as I please. Only thing is I wish they had this for the fronts too lol

Might sound strange but this is my favorite option. It really does help since the babies are back there.

Found THE 2012 manual : http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalA...12-S-Class.pdf

Look at page 40

* button And rear shade button

now:
Interesting...Where the favo-button is in that 2012 manual, I have the mute button, as well as on the steering wheel.

So there we go, the nitty gritty differences (besides the serious differences )between the facelift(mopf) and the pre-mopf.(model pflege)

Thats probably a way howto distinguish between the two as well..no matter the exteriour etc.

Unless the buttons are still different between EU-models and US-ones..which would not surprise me.

It's been there since MY2010.

On page 39 and 97/98 this manual shows the rear roof sunblind open/close button on the ceiling mounted buttons, same as on my 2008.

Page 439 shows a dedicated rear sunblind button on the center console.

The front roof sunshade is operated using the roof opening button.
First press opens the sunshade, second press opens the roof etc.


I think you are covered...

Can't believe the design does not allow you to open the sun roof in the "tilt" position without opening the sunshade.
Sometimes you want to leave it slightly open "tilt" position to vent the summer heat out....

skrontz

I suspect it is an engineering decision; the wind could easily damage the shade.

IRIDIUM

Indeed. It's THE Same in my E class with panoramic roof.

Found a car like my order with sunshades closed: http://www.autoscout24.be/Details.aspx?id=215035559
