    You are correct. I have a sun roof on mine. I have maybe 1/8" between the glass and the hatch when it's open. I do know that they were having an issue with the hatch and sunroof glass clearance when they were first building these, and I think the way they "fixed" the situation was to keep the glass from going further than it does.
    I'm female. I like cars, , and randomness. I have a 2012 Bagged Turbo Beetle that likes to hang out at home. My daily is a '86 BMW E30.

    Yes, I saw that in here as well. Cheaper than redesigning the roof panel I'm sure.
