I just typed a huge question but it got lost when submitting.
Try again, but more abbreviated:
Anyone replced their sunshade. Mine is cactus and is $1000 Aussie to buy OEM.
Some input would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Re: Sunroof sunshade
Well I managed to get the sunshade out. It was a whole lot easier than I thought.
All you had to do is removed the sunroof, which ended up being only 8 screws.
The sunshade itself was ratshit, new one ordered from aliexpress for $60 USD. Better than the $1000 quoted for the sunshade only!!!
Phots to come.

Re: Sunroof sunshade
Nice job, $1000 for a sunshade is ridicolous.
Some pictures would be great!
Mine is also broken. Is it difficult/heavy to lift the glas out?

Re: Sunroof sunshade
Sorry for the delay in replying.
Having issues with pics at the mo.
The glass was easy for me to remove by myself, like I said before, just 8 bolts, 4 on each side for the glass sunroof, then the sunshade is self explanatory.
Cheers.

Re: Sunroof sunshade
Hey folks
I"m brand new here, so I hope it's OK to post in older threads... Just wanting to ask, regarding the sunroof shade, is it common for this shade to slide back by itself, sometimes even when the car is stationary? This mostly happens on hot days.
If this is a common problem on 'Roccos, I would dearly love to know if there are some recommended fixes.
