Hello David, Yes I live in O.C. and love the power roof. It's the distinguishing feature of the ML line from other SUV's. When I first saw it I was deliberating between a couple of cars, the skyview was the tie breaker!
Hey MB Doc, thanks for the answer. It's not really noisy but I can hear it when I park in the garage and what makes me curious is that it runs sometimes even when the engine is started for a minute or less. What do you think about that??

"One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to
avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond
this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to
interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways."
