FYI, he mentioned that he found out there is no way to put the roof panel INSIDE a smart car. the dimensions are just too big, no matter where or what angle you try. this was discovered when his smart was flat-bedded back to smart center of indianapolis after the roof chose to separate itself from the car.

kind of ruined his vacation he had just started.
I obviously thought you were referring to the issue with the few panorama roofs that had to be replaced. Which, in fact, is a separate topic from the sunshade problem. But then again, I'm not mensa material.

Got it installed, the only thing that seems different is that you can actually open and close it, looks the same but actually functions
