It is, believe it or not, the wind-deflector. Our cab has remarkably little buffeting with the top back or completely down, so apparently it works.

It was a trick originally developed for the 2003 MB C230 with the panoramic roof. The 2002 model had major wind buffeting at highways speeds and in 2003 they introduced this as a fix. Since then it has appeared in numerous MB and Chrysler products as a way to reduce wind buffeting noise.
