Any success storied on the shade issues?
Mine (on a 2009 Jetta Wagon) got loose on one side - you could see that the glue dried up, and lost hold of the track. I guess the southern sun fried it, as the remains were dry and crumbly... Anyway, my helpful 3 year old thought he would help the process and pulled on the shade, which just came completely out the driver side track, and half the back.
Dealership said I can have it glued back in... by an upholstery shop. Replacing the whole thing was priced at $750... Well, a guy at one of the shops I stopped at removed the shade for me: touched the other side trying to figure out where it's held, and it fell into to car... So we slid the front strap out (works like a bikini top on a Jeep).
I'm left with a piece of fabric (nothing wrong with it), a little bit of a funny looking metal spring sticking out of the back of the whole system (where I guess the roller sits), and not sure where to go next.
(1) Have anyone glued their shade back in? (2) If I order the replacement (~$250 shade element only) - can the rest (track, springs), be reused? (3) How do I / the upholsterer get to it? Taking the glass out? Do we need to touch the headliner?
I went by a window tinting shop, and having a really dark tint out in place (the 5% light through) will cost me under a $100, and the tint would help not fry my kids in the 100 degree weather... But that kind of defeats a purpose of having a pano roof...
Thank you for any suggestions...
