    Well I didn't realize I posted a photo of my truck as well. Any help on the sunshade is greatly appreciated

    Any thoughts here? I tried the guy that fixes 575, but he doesn't have the parts to fix the 612

    What is causing the droop?

    I really like that! The whole configuration looks very well thought out (spoken by one who has never used it!).

    I saw my mechanic yesterday and asked him about it. Apparently there is a plastic bit inside of the slide assembly that wears out and causes the droop (unfortunately Ferrari uses way too many plastic bits that have a limited life expectancy). The only remediation is to replace the assembly but that is extremely expensive. He suggested that you see if a wrecker has a replacement. If you cant find the right color maybe you could get the wrong color and swap out the assemblies.

    The other solution is to glue Velcro to the headliner behind the sunshade. A bubba solution but it would be invisible unless the shade was down.

    By the way, if you go the wrecker route, I would go halfers with you if you wanted. I see it is your passenger sunshade and I have a problem (very slight at this point) with my drivers sunshade. So if the wrecker wanted to sell the sunshades as a set I would buy the drivers side. In my case I have the same interior as yours but I have red top stitching. So no matter what I would have to take out the assembly and try to swap it.
