sunroof "shade" handle breaking and brittle...

A few weeks ago I noticed that the handle on the sunroof shade had changed shape. No longer was it indented to let my fingers fit in and close the thing, it had actually expanded in the hot sun and now only had a little area on all four sides where my fingernails could fit to close it. I pushed on it lightly, and about half of it crumbled in my hand. I took my car in for the throttle body recall yesterday, as well as another sunroof issue (it wouldn't close all the way due to the plastic not retracting when the glass approached the front). Well, the plastic handle is not under warranty, and they tell me it is $275 to replace as they have to replace the entire panel. Even for that it seems ridiculous, but I'm guessing they have to remove the interior ceiling liner to do it.

 

regardless, have any of you had this issue, and if so, did you get it replaced?
