The portion of the sun shade over the driver's seat seems to be 'curling' (it's not flush against the sunroof) when it's in the closed position. Has anyone else experienced this?

Mine's fine...but I mostly keep it retracted. Could you be more specific about how it's "curling"? What part and what direction?

basically, when it's engaged the left side of it kind of curls towards the right side, so there is a gap about 1.5 inches wide by 2 inches long....more or less. I have the leatherette interior and I live in south florida so when the car is parked in the sun all day at work it really heats up.
