SLK 350 Sunroof

I am looking to add an SLK 350 to my E550. The one I looked at today had some sort of imperfection in the sunroof. It looked cracked, but I could not feel the crack. Is this something that can be replaced? If so, is it a dealer only option?

Run if it is cracked. Find a different SLK. Also, you want to find a SLK only with a glass roof otherwise you face delaminated roof issues.

I don't think it is cracked. There is some sort of blemish, but you can't feel it when running your finger over it. When you say "only with a glass roof", is the other option a metal non-panoramic roof? Is there another material beside glass?
