Moonroof sunshade will not close. Pinch control makes it return to open at about 12". This has been an issue since the day I purchased the vehicle and is still not fixed. Service tech removed moonroof to fix the sunshade problem and broke the trim on the moonroof. This lead to the moonroof itself activating pinch control in the dark on a night when we got 3" of rain, all of which went into the vehicle. Driver side A pillar trim was falling off. Driver side rear panel clip broke just behind wheel. |
