Sunscreen doesn't stay put!!
 
Anyone else having this problem? I shut the sun screen and a few miles later the thing slides open 3 inches.

me too! it seems to stop a few inches in, though...

Only our rear one starts inching forward over time. The front one stays put.

mine is tough as a rock. gotta put some real power in it to open or close it

Ours stays put decently. I just wonder why they made the leading edge straight when the windo is curved? That little gap bugs me a little.:confused:

haha...yes, I have gapiosis as well!! I keep pushing on the screen hoping it will snug up and close that lil' gap...but no luck!!!

Mine too. I was considering WD40, but I leave it closed almost all the time.

yep, happening to me too. just yeterday I noticed that it keeps opening 2-3 inches.:sly:

really not cool. The r50/53's had a little handle that locked it in place. How much could that have cost---$1. per car. MINI/BMW will probably spend more $$ on service complaints. Not good planning IMHO. Annoying in a premium small car.

yeah i hate taht gap too bugs me when i have the sunroof open. i dont notice it unless its open

I have the same problem with the rear screen.
