I honestly wish it didn't have a sunroof at all.

A sunroof is a great place to put your coffee cup while opening the door without worrying about scratching the paint.
Technically, these aren't a sunroof, they are a moonroof. A sunroof is a movable panel made of metal, while a moonroof is made of glass. That distinction has been lost over the years.

Trust me I understand, and I have no problem with a car going in for a minor fix or two. However, to make my car right its going to require a lot of work. I have a dent in the spoiler from the snapping issue. That requires a new unpainted lift gate which has to be painted by a 3rd party and reinstalled. I need new suspension components to fix the creaking noise which makes the car sound 30 years old - we actually had this issue on another one of our cars several years back - a 20 year old Maxima! I had a new steering wheel put on because the leather was unwrapping. Brakes are a problem - squealing. Moonroof needs adjustment or replacement which either way is major work removing a headliner. This is big stuff we are talking about on a car that I have filled with gas once.
If they have to pull up the gasket, why do they need to remove the entire sunroof? What did dealer do?

The panoramic roof is a moonroof with second fixed panel. The names came about when Nash built the first sunroof to "let the sunshine in". In the mid-70's, Lincoln designed a "glass tinted sunroof" that they called a moonroof because it made the sun look like the moon. The term caught on and for the next 20 years or so manufacturers made moonroofs. Somewhere along the line somebody started calling those moonroofs sunroofs.
