Sunroof liner has fallen making it impossible to see out the back window.

While driving down the highway at about 55mph, I tried to open the panoramic sunroof.

I couldn’t even see into the backseat. It w...

The shade covering my sunroof does not roll back properly. It leaves layers of fabric hanging in the backseat, which can block the drivers rear view if they are unaware of the issue. I’ve researched this issue online and it appears to be a pretty common issue.

The sunshade portion of the moonroof does not retract when opening the moonroof. It simply hangs down, completely blocking the rear view of the driver when using the inside rear-view mirror.
