The reasons why the sunroof of a Mercedes-Benz GLE cannot be closed are as follows: 1. It is best not to fully open the sunroof on bumpy roads, as excessive vibration between the sunroof and the sliding rails may cause deformation of related components or even damage the motor. Always open the sunshade before opening the sunroof to prevent overloading the motor, which could lead to malfunctions over time. 2. In winter, after rain or snow, the sunroof is prone to freezing, and the sealing strip may become frozen and hard. Opening the sunroof immediately in such conditions can cause the rubber seal to crack. If the sunroof is frozen, the motor may be damaged due to overload. It is advisable to turn on the heater first and wait for the ice on the sunroof to melt before opening it. 3. When washing the car with a high-pressure water gun, avoid directing the water jet directly at the sealing ring. This can cause the sealing ring to deform under the high pressure, leading to water leakage into the car and potential damage to the sealing ring. 4. There are four drainage channels at the corners of the sunroof that direct accumulated water outside the vehicle. If these channels are blocked by leaves, dust, or if the water volume exceeds the designed drainage capacity, water may overflow, causing roof leakage. In severe cases, this can lead to water ingress. Since sunroof components are sliding mechanisms, they are relatively susceptible to water infiltration and aging. Regularly cleaning the drainage outlets can help prevent the sunroof from failing to open.
