yeah but the guy was there and took a picture, it is not some random picture from the internet ;-).

Yes, this is the kind of stuff you can see at car shows (when cars have dead batteries, etc.). Pictures are taken with little else as background info.

But I find it sloppy that the Benz dealership allows the car to sit like that.

OP, Was the door closed? Did you try opening it and closing it? That would answer a lot of questions here.

Dashocker, I actually can't remember the last time I came across a late model coupe of any make/model that DIDN'T do this with frameless windows.

as i stated before, i wonder if the battery was completely disconnected. that happens to a lot of cars. if so, maybe the window is on the lowered position so it's easier for people to open/close

I am not disputing that Rominl did post in this very thread that his Lexus SC did not have this feature. Is the Lexus SC a coupe with frameless windows?

sc430 is a convertible. it would look beyond retarded if the windows have frame

As you can see from the picture, the window is not lower, it is pop out or tilted out.

ah, brain fart, i was looking it differently, not you mention about popping out i can see. in that case, could it be the window is in the "up" position and then the battery disconnected? in that case, the window doesn't go down when the door is open so when forcing the door to close it might create something as pictured

The G Man

Henry, it almost look like the battery is disconnected and someone try to force the door close and the glass is caught on a door seal somewhere.

yes, that's exactly what i am thinking. that's pretty similar to what happened to my friend's g35. his window actuator went dead, so the window is stuck at the up position no matter what. so when he try to close the door, the glass will get stuck and crack back into place.

sounds pretty "normal" to me if the battery is disconnected

this thread is beyond ridiculous. i don't believe there's ANYTHING wrong with that mercedes.

You implied you believed the feature was mostly exclusive to German coupes:

yep, just a pic.

I opened and closed the door a few times and the window did the same thing each time, it would lower as you opened the door then as you shut it, the window would attempt to go back up, and towards the front of the window it would seat properly but towards the back it would come outward a 1/2 inch... the car battery had to be attached because my friend got into the drivers side and was playing with the navi and stereo...
