Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Problems with the sliding sunroof
Problem: the sunroof cannot be closed and you cannot see the cause.
WARNING
You could be severely or even fatally injured
when closing the sliding sunroof with
increased closing force or if the antientrapment
feature is deactivated. Make sure that nobody can become trapped when
closing the sliding sunroof.
If the sliding sunroof is obstructed during closing and reopens again slightly:
► Immediately after the sliding sunroof blocks, pull the switch in the overhead control panel down to the point of resistance and hold it until the sliding sunroof is closed.
The sliding sunroof is closed with increased force.
If the sliding sunroof is obstructed again during closing and reopens again slightly:

The sliding sunroof is closed without the anti-entrapment feature.
WARNING
Pressing and holding the sliding sunroof
switch to close the sliding sunroof
immediately after it had been blocked two
times will cause the sliding sunroof to close
without the anti-entrapment feature for as
long as you hold the switch.
