Silly question for you wagon owners:

When you use the vent setting to tilt open the two panels of the panoramic sunroof, does the spring-loaded black plastic bar that runs along the rear edge of the front panel swivel up to stay flush with the rear edge?

This is how my roof operates, and it doesn't *quite* make sense to me, as it results in air coming in to the car from only the back of the rear panel.

Thanks.

I had to go out in the car to understand your question...

Well, the plastic bar follows the roof a bit, but it doesn't move as far as yours. I have a couple of centimeters left.

I think your theory is right, though - only air ventilation through the rearto prevent turbulence, and also to make life easier in the back. The rear passangers would otherwise be enjoying a bit more wind in their face than wanted...
