Sunroof shade keeps sliding back when driving. Any fix?

[Tacomonster]

So like the tittle says my sunroof shade keeps sliding open when I drive around. Not sure what's going but has anyone else experience this? If so does anyone have any recommendation to fixing this?

As I was slowly going through the modding process ultimately ending up with a hybrid turbo I used how far the sunshade slid back on a wide open throttle run to determine how my car had improved in power. Kind of like a cheap dyno run.

There's a tech bulletin from VW on this. Dealer trimmed the bump stops for the shade at no charge. I had them give me the felt to put on myself since the trim did the job so far in keeping it from sliding back.

Do you have the tab number to share? I’m trying to get a better understanding of what you mean by having bump stops trimmed.

Thank you I’ll have to give this a shot.

Same. Having this issue and if there is a tsb for it would love to reference it when I take it in for the first service.

See this thread - look for bigdave79 "before trimming" and "after trimming" image post - I think this is what this refers to. (Edit: obv this is not the TSB exactly, but easy DIY.)

This basically worked for me: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/inde...sunroof-squeak-and-armrest-rattle-fix.380798/

I made a couple modifications to the original instructions that helped further:

1. Added a thin strip of adhesive felt tape to the tops of the rubber bumpers to keep them from sticking to the plastic part of the shade:

2. I added a second pair of rubber bumpers to *back* of the sunroof frame on either side; this serves the same function as in the front to vertically support the shade when it's in the rear (pulled back) position (same felt tape added to the tops as the front):

My 2015 never did this, however my 2019 does this constantly. It feels as though the slider isnt going far enough forward as well.

So I did the "stop block trim" mod as ref'd in other thread above, and also the felt thing. I tried "negative" (fluffy side) velcro, but it didn't do much if anything at all. I got these thicker rubber Scotch things and they are perfect. "Docking" is positive and doesn't slip.
