• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I searched old threads and couldn't find anything.
The track & rail system on our rear sunroof has broken randomly. The fabric also appears to have melted in the Florida sun and fallen apart.

Curious if anyone else has had this issue?

I went to open the rear panel and as it was sliding back the fabric began to bunch up like an accordion and the rail mechanism was getting stuck while clicking and cracking.

10k on the clock, 2021 SXP, 8 months old. Our second SXP and second time having random stuff breaking so soon.

Photos attached show panel after I partially closed it. You can see the fabric drooping.

Wow, that's a concern! I'm all "on-board" with this car but sometimes you have to take a step back and consider what sacrifices they made to offer this car for the price it is.

That's exactly my concern. What little areas did they cut corners to hit their price point.
Why is the glue coming undone so easily?
Why is the mechanism failing so soon?

Well that certainly sucks.

Well, hopefully it can be taken care of by warranty. Hope the hassle to get the 2021 from your 2020 was worth it.

Was no hassle selling and buying. That whole process easy.
 
Just had the deflector break on my 2021 SX. Now the sunroof won't close all the way

Any luck getting the sunroof fixed? What was the exact problem?
