This is getting even more annoying as it appears to be loosening (likely from the higher torque launches post flash hehe). Any quick elegant fixes anyone come up with?

leave it open?
does it slide shut during hard stops too?

that would be annoying.....
maybe something to stick in the spot to keep it from sliding?
not sophisticated however it might work....

Mine is actually quite tight. Even my tune can't move it. Perhaps there is a way the dealer can fix it?

Mine just started doing to same thing and this is really annoying. Hopefully the dealer has a fix for this because it should not open when I accelerate hard. Only opens about 6 inches but annoying

Wow, mine does it too. I never thought it was an issue though. I bet it is not a problem on the CLS 550. I guess acceleration has it's draw backs. Solution, hit the brakes hard.

I'm running 305s in the back. My sunroof cover is all over place too. It's funny - the girlfriend has never complained - because she doesn't drive like I do.
