Hello all,
I have the panoramic roof option (without magic sky) and I find the glass way too dark for my liking.

In the UK, I have contacted various main stream glass replacement companies and the dealerships themselves but they say its a one option only

Can not find anything on the internet suggesting I can replace the glass unit with a more clearer one either - leading me to believe I am stuck with what I have so before I throw the towel in...
Does anyone know if this can be done at all?

My guess is no because the glass is cast specifically for the application and there wouldn't enough demand for an aftermarket part.
The only option might be retro fit magic sky.

I looked into this and it was £4000/US$6000/CDN$7600 at which point I decided to wait until I replaced the car. And even then, as a £2000 option I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Now, I could forgive you this if what I see in your notes is what I think - Twin Squirell - as in Ecureull2?? It is just sitting there, waiting, outside the house??

I wish! I share it with 24 other people in a flying club syndicate. I don't fly much anymore. I don't really have the time or the money to spare. The last time I used it was at the British Grand Prix. Which felt extremely cool at the time.

Wow - OK so it is what I think it is and you own a 24th of it and I guess contribute a 24th of maintenance - yes, you are definitely forgiven not spending 2k on an option..!

What about a wrecked car being parted out?

Hello WJA96,

For the Magic Sky in after market, did you take information to Mercedes Benz or another specialist ?

It was a UK retrofit specialist who would have bought the parts new from Mercedes-Benz then charged me the time to fit them.

Not looking for your smart comments oldman.
If you can't find me a clearer glass, keep your comments in your knickers

Hello WJA96,

Thank for your answer.
Can you tell me what was the cost with the part ?
In PM if you want.

I saw on net the price for magic roof in retrofit, it was double price of the orginal option (more than 4000 €) without the installation ...

I never got as far as an itemised quote. I would say as they quoted me £4000 (€5250) for the retrofit then €4000 for the parts and €1250 for the work sounds about right.

Hello WJA96,

Have a good night.
