Ahh, those dual solar panels are too sweet to keep shaded all the time anyway.

p.s. Severen, what dealer you going to buy from?

Answer me this? Would you rather a regular solid covered sunroof or the tc roof?

dont get me wrong i love the tC roof, but some better covers would've been nice, but i know for the price i cant expect to have everything, i just hope when i test drive it that i dont have light shining in through the covers, thats my only concern

The tC roof def. For me I have no reason to keep them closed anyways. If you're down in Fla it might be a different story of course.

They are kinda of limited on what they can do being they cant use a hard cover that slides back because that would defeat the purpose of the back sunroof....

It would have been quite difficult to design a hard cover that could retract on the inside... it would move into the space of the glass panel behind it...

I don't think the tops are cheap... they're just not hard.

Just cause something's not hard, doesn't mean it's cheap.

That stereo cover? Yeah that felt a little cheap.

I did not think the sunroof covers felt that cheap. I liked them. I dont think you could do a solid cover with a tC roof. And I dont want to lose the tC's roof.

If they did some kind of multi folding panels or something it would work, but I don't expect them to go into that kind of complexity on this car. A future Lexus with dual panels perhaps.

BTW, The Mini has the same type roof and I believe the C230 does as well, I wonder how theirs are

My dealer said the Benz panaromic sun roof had the same pull shade type system when I asked him about it... I'm not sure if he's correct or not.
