Has anyone come up with a revised handle for the moonroof shade? The handle is shallow
And my fat fingers have trouble closing it. A 3D print of the handle with a larger lip wld be great.

It almost feels like the existing handle is in backwards. The designers had interesting ergonomic perspectives. Not mine, but interesting.

As a side note, looking at one’s right hip area, to find modes (etc), was their most dangerous decision.

I never really gave much thought to the positioning of the mode buttons between the seats... Carry-over habits from my days flying helicopters for Uncle Sam (Army) caused me to sit in the "cockpit" with the manual, and learn (memorize) the position of every button and switch before attempting to use them while driving. Doesn't take that long - there's a lot fewer of them than there were in the helicopter... (The overhead circuit breaker board had something like 48 breakers, and you had to be able to select the right one - blindfolded - with 100% accuracy so you could do that while flying using the Night Vision Goggles...)

Yeah I'd trade that for the phone controls on the steering wheel in a heartbeat.

It's too easy for stuff to hit the buttons for drive modes. My dogs love walking on there.
