Cool Two Things I Spot

I normally use A/C rather than pano roof but I used pano today and when I came home I noticed that some kinda net stuff popped up against the glass panel as marked in red .
Well, I contribute it to how neatly these roofs designs , in other cars you see a similar thing but this is like net and doesn't cut off the air flow as opposed to other cars sunroof systems

Another thing , I marked in blue I see PDI , I would like to know why it is there and what it means lol
Thanks

I think it does not refer to Perfect Designo Intelligence ha ha lol

You have a good point, may be it should also catch the bugs and debris ,there should a good reason for it rather than cosmetic concerns lol

The white square thing is for express pass for these following highway,bridges , autobahn pay tolls etc

I think that "net thing" is a windscreen. Helps reduce wind noise.

I think it should help reduce wind noise ,in other cars there are no nets just a flat plastic part like spoiler to do the job
