no, but I imagine anything getting in those gears will cause some serious, possibly irreversible damage. Better get that to the service center ASAP.
Never saw that before. Do you have a picture of the underside of the panel? I suspect it's held on with some bolts and perhaps they forgot to put the nuts on?Has anyone else experienced this?
Those gears?
I didn't see any gears, and I don't think there are any - as I understand it, the car uses motorized struts to actuate both sections, like power hatchbacks do but with an extra section.
All I see there are four springs to counter the weight. (And an electrical connector for the overhead Ultrasonic, and a couple boxes I'm not sure what to make of (antenna?) that likely shouldn't be wet.)
But No, I haven't had that happen, and Yes, you should certainly get it to the service center soon.
Just last Thursday! Just driving down the highway, heard a noise and saw it bouncing on the road in my rear view mirror. Have been looking all day for it in hopes of salvaging it. But no luck. Have you got a estimate yet?Has anyone else experienced this?

I would be very surprised if it did not suffer some significant damage from hitting a hard road surface at highway speeds. Doubt it would be salvageable.Just last Thursday!

It’s under warranty still... but they can’t get the part or get me in for service until 10/23. Ugh!!Just last Thursday!

At least it's not "within specifications" and not a "cosmetic issue that does not affect functionality".They said it’s okay to leave exposed for the next month... appt for 10/23. Holy cow.
Hmm...I didn’t know that. All the other roof pieces are glass. I would be surprised if the center panel is not also glass, so that it matches and for greater durability.It isn't glass. I think it is just plastic.

I used a 1 1/4 reaming tool to enlarge the guide hole. I measured several times and drilled a 1/4 hole through the aluminum and then through the thick black plastic panel between the Falcon door hinge area. The antenna mount is a 2" long x 5/8" diameter NMO mount / PL259 thick roof from American Radio Supply. The inside is silicon sealed to the aluminum spine and the NMO O ring seals to the black outside plastic.
