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

yes they COULD do a multipull out similar to the older eclipse's. it wouldnt be that much more difficult to make either.

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.
