its not new.. they come as standard on Most Mercs..and i think even webasto has it.. I am not sure what it's called though.
It functions like a normal sunroof but once you close it you can not even make out that the car has a sunroof.

I've seen that on old Merc E-Class's but didnt know they were metal. But thats like old fashion now i guess. All the new cars come with the glass sunroof rite..

Yeah they do come with glass type.. But if you want safety this is the one to go for.

on a second thought, why they didn't break the windows?

easier to break a sunroof.. Less noisy also.. put a wrench in between the glass and the roof.. pull it.. **crack** there your go.. you are in.

Hey nos_nitrous,
Try PFM Accessories on Mission Road, they deal in Webasto if I remember right.
On Mission Road, take a left into Shamrao Compound(same compound has Stanley Leather Seats and a Hyundai Service Center among others).
