Pano roof

Anyone remove the sun shade permanently? I'm thinking about cutting out the shade since it does not fold back when I open the roof. I figured I can tint the inside of the pano roof with a 50% or higher tint to keep more of the sunlight out while still maintaining the purpose of the pano roof being able to see outside of it..

What do you guys think? I'm not feeling the stealership charging over $3000 just to replace the shade and motor.. Again the opening and closing of the roof works fine

I don't live in a bad hood and I have spoken to a speciality repair shop they said inner lining would have to be removed along with the roof.

Still an expensive job that I would rather do myself but that extra 3 grand is for suspension upgrades.. Tow hitch and Thule roof carrier
