A Few Little Things
  Wind Deflector (in sun roof)
  Being a smoker, a sun roof was essential for me. Any sun roof has some kind of a wind deflector, which pops up, once the roof is open. Well, Mercedes has one of these things too, but you have to push it up.. and at speeds above 90km/h, you will have to hold it up, otherwise the noise and draft inside the car is not acceptable. The picture above shows on the right hand side, how far down this wind-deflector came at higher speeds. As you can read under "All my MBs" I had several Mercedes' in Germany, in all the one with a sun roof I had to install an after-market wind deflector.
 

Being a little careful, I had this installed by Lone Star Inc. (Calgary), so there was no way, that they could say, I modified the vehicle.

  Now I got rid of the draft and I did not have to hold the wind deflector up, but the inner panel which can slide under the glass sunroof started to rattle at speeds over 60km/h. This was getting so bad, that I kept the sunroof closed.
