Vario Roof 2009 Plastic Side Panels Scuffed
The 2 side panel on the rear window are scuffed I think it scraping on the partition inside when it closes.
So I need help in determining how to adjust it and where I can get the 2 panels so I can replace them. The scuffs run the length of the panel and are about an inch wide next to the glass on both sides.
Thanks
Ron

You can buy them but they are about $100 each. Here's how to remove them:

My advice is to cover them with vinyl as they tend to crack and peel when exposed to the elements for several years. I covered min with 3M Dinoc "carbon-fiber" patterned vinyl:
