I am currently looking at an AV upgrade for my w208 and have a question about a particular panel. 1st off, what do you call it?!

It's the piece that runs along the top of the inside of the windscreen. It houses the dome light, vanity lights and sun visors.

Secondly, what else is hidden up in the piece? Are there any sensors etc that shouldn't be messed with to much, rain sensor/central locking etc?

Any help would be great.
 
There is an air-conditioning temperature "sniffer" in there which is a small fan and sensor. If that is unplugged or faulty then your aircon can go crazy, it can also make a lot of noise if the bearing goes on it and require replacement.
 
Thanks for your help, I guess I can disconnect and reconnect without issue? I'm looking to fabricate a motorised housing for an AV control and the dome light position seems ideal.
