Can the sunshades be replaced and are there part numbers? RealOEM looks to just have the whole sunroof cassette as the replacement. I had the car detailed and the detailer mucked up the sunshades. They are willing to replace them; however, I am unable to locate the part numbers outside of those for the manual sunroof. It may be easier to just have them tint the sunroof and call it good. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks - had that thought as well. Did you just source the sun shades, or did you grab the entire sunroof assembly?

I had EMW in Arcadia CA remove and have the two sunshades in the sunroof assembly reupholstered in an alcantara which matches the interior! That was in late 2017 and they are still in excellent condition. When the roof panels are set to vent with the panels raised in the rear, the rear one does attract a bit of dust, but with the roof closed again one can just use a soft vacuum tool to clean it off - maybe once or twice a year. I wish that the factory would have finished the sunshades like they now are in my vehicle!
