Sunroof shade fix?

Any simple fix for this? Though the shade fits snugly, any hard-acceleration run sends the shade flying back -- wham! No modifications involving Velcro or rubber bands, please!

Interesting side effect of 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds; every time it happens it cracks my daughter up...

My dealer replaced the shade. Had to drop the roof though. Works fine now, but I sense it will loosen over time. Looks like a poor design.

I have the same problem. There is no way I will let those butchers anywhere near the roof lining! There's got to be another way to stop it flying back (maybe we disconnect two cylinders...?)

I agree. I didn't know what they were doing until they had pulled the roof liner.

I no longer use that dealer for service! But in my case, all is well that ends well. They did a good job on replacing the liner.

I triple that motion. I cannot imagine them getting the headliner off and back without either introducing rattles or getting grease marks all over that lovely light suede/Alcantara material...
