a4gee.....I agree, the last week has been frustrating that it don't slide, but it does make the inside nice and light and looks good outside as you say but operationally, it's been fine

No problems at all you don't really need it as the car has climate control but I went for it as looks great from the outside specially on a candy White.

It gives a great view on a clear night. It's a great place to be inside! Other than that it looks pretty. Function wise it's useless! lol.
I do tend to have it pushed back when driving, gives a more pleasurable feel for me than when it's close. At night or day.

As above, function is limited but looks good from the outside and makes the cabin much lighter

Open up the sunroof and crack the passenger window an inch: the feeling of the air flowing past you is much better than just climate control.

I agree with the others... it is completely useless! In this nice weather, I wish it would slide!
it DOES give a nice lightness to the potentially dark cabin. My husband is 6'3" and we got it to give him headroom! I never close the cover. The extra 2 inches or so make a big difference!
No issues. No leaks or anything.
