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.

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

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.

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

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 .
