To delete the Pano glass roof was a primary reason I ordered the 2022 RX450h to get it the way I wanted it. I specifically deleted the pano roof and only ordered the regular sun roof. Also did not order the "f" sport again.

Post CLOTH COVERING for pano sunroof stuck

The CLOTH COVERING on my 2020 RX350 pano sunroof is stuck, pressing the button doesnt do anything, it is misaligned on one side as well. Is it expensive to fix?

Dang, sorry to hear that. There's some posts on the forum about this issue, and if you have it repaired at Lexus it's not a cheap repair way north over $1k. Read some here had body & trim shops that does headliners to do the repair.
Let us know what you decide.

Angry Sunroof clicking and shade not closing

I have a 2018 RX 350 F Sport less than 5 year old, purchased new from a local dealer. The Moon roof started making a clicking sound last year and would not close with moving the level back and forth. Now it will not open or close the shade slider. I took it to the dealer to pinpoint the problem; the only option is to replace the entire roof for $7,000.00. This is absurd. A repair this costly should not be happening year four of ownership. During the warranty period, I had to get the steering column replace under warranty, which would have cost $3000.00 without warranty.

For a company that values it reputation on reliability, my experience has not been reliable. Has anyone else had problems with the moon roof and what is a better solution that replacing the entire thing.

Not sure if my next vehicle will be a Lexus. I have owned 3 RX 350's, two 2016 RX and one 2018, this will probably be my last.

I assume you mean you have the panoramic sunroof and not the standard sun roof. Panoramic roofs are definitely more problematic across all car brands and when they break it is not an inexpensive repair.

Sorry to hear about your issue. I had an RX450H in the past with a pano roof and fortunately for me it never failed. But nonetheless, I opted for a standard sun roof on my RX350H as I did not see much value in it considering the risk of failure.

Tint it and use it like any Tesla with fixed roof or even Toyotas latest trend with fixed glass roof.
