The picture shows this is a new E class Coupe which as a display model.. well who knows how it has been abused and mistreated. I spent time with one this afternoon and the (frame-less) door glass moves out of the way when the door is opened - just the same as happens on BMW coupes as well. Looked pretty similar to the picture I see here.

I am pretty sure not all frameless coupe have this feature. Is it there to make closing the doors easier? Looking at that picture, it almosts look like the window is misalign, not roll down.

from the picture it seems like the door is shut though. and OP stated that the other part of the window lines up well with the seam?
if i have to really guess what's wrong, maybe the window is lowered a bit (in the door open position) and then the battery was disconnected? just a random guess, otherwise it can't be good

The windows slide down about a half inch each time you open the doors on frameless doors on German coupes from BMW & Mercedes.. It seems odd to those who would experience these vehicles for the first time.

I have seen this mechanism fail on a Mercedes. My mother drives a 2006 CLS500 with the same feature. One day the window decided not to go up that extra half inch no matter what, leaving a gap. It would seal when the car was running, but when after turning it off, getting out of the car, and closing the door the window would not come back up to where it was supposed to be. Thankfully the car is parked in a garage and the problem fixed itself 2 days later, but this was a very odd incident nonetheless.
