2015–2024 Mercedes-Benz tilts unevenly

If you’re experiencing an uneven tilt with your Mercedes-Benz panoramic sunroof, you’re not alone. Many 2015–2024 Mercedes-Benz models suffer from a common issue where the panoramic glass becomes misaligned, with one corner (typically the rear passenger side) remaining raised by 1 to 2 inches.

Common Symptoms

  • Rear corner of the sunroof glass stays raised
  • Sunroof opens partially but quickly reverses
  • Grinding or clicking noise is not always present
  • Reset attempts do not fix the problem
  • One side appears higher than the other
  • Unable to access bolts due to shut position

Real Customer Complaint

I was heading to the airport and opened my sunroof. It seemed fine at first. After parking, I noticed the rear passenger corner was raised. Now it won’t close flush. I tried resets and gently pushing it down—nothing worked. I just want it shut for now without paying the dealer an arm and a leg.

What’s Causing This?

The most likely cause is a failure in the lift arm or track system — specifically the plastic guides that lift and slide the glass. Over time or due to minor stress, one of these lift arms may become misaligned, jammed, or broken, resulting in uneven operation.

This isn’t just cosmetic. If not repaired correctly, it can lead to:

  • Water leaks
  • Wind noise
  • Glass cracking or shattering

Our fix involves:
