Sunshade open all the way?
I could have sworn that the sunshade used to open all the way, with the bar up against the rear trim. Just noticed that it doesn't (see photo). Is this correct or is something wrong?

That looks correct. My 2013 SL550 only opens that far.

Mine looks like yours as well and I thought something was wrong too. I looked at many other SLs on the internet and some fully open and others don't. I brought mine into MB for service and they stated that it was normal.... who knows
