5 Sun Roof problem of the 2000 Volkswagen Beetle

Failure Date: 07/09/2000

The clips on the interior part of the sun shade that prevents blinding sun from coming tough the sunroof bent. It makes it hard to open or close the shade when driving without great force something that is not very safe to be doing when driving. The person that fixed the sunroof also sayed he wish's they would recall the clip because he has fixed many with the same problem. The clips just bend and jump of the track they need to slide in. We think the metal used for the clips need to be stronger or revised. ( dot number: m3wc tire size: 205/55r16 ).
