That happened to my moonroof after I performed the required maintenance on it. I accidentally pulled it free from the track. Just push it back on. Look at the opposite side for reference. Took about 30 seconds to fix and haven’t had any problems with it since.

Honestly I have come to the conclusion that every vehicle I own is a POS. Then after I sell it, looking back I think “what an awesome vehicle that was”.
I feel that the enthusiast brain is so detail oriented that no vehicle exists that could possibly check every box.

I do own a supercar (2021 R8 performance) and Merc 63S. Flawless cars.
How many miles have you owned them I promise they will fall apart.

Just had a 2013 (93000 miles) Audi in the shop the dealer quoted $11,000 in repairs needed. Owner purchased 2 months ago for $14k. My shop quote was $6000

I wouldn’t say Raptor’s are POS. They look cool and I assume they make owners feel cool. However, I just bought my wife a Ford lariat with the sport and black package and IMO it is just as cool, but it is a real truck. It can do truck stuff! It has 400 HP, which is 50 less than the Raptor and it FEELS just as fast. It is also much more nimble on the pavement and a lot easier to park. Common, how many Raptors jump sand dunes? I have owned Gen 1, 2 and 3, I still own the 3, but realize I could have saved a bunch of money with a Lariat!

So... it's a S63, not 63S. hmmm. They are wonderful cars! Just very VERY needy from on the maintenance side of things. Calling an Audi R8 a "supercar" is a bit of a, um, stretch. lol
