Default Sunroof shade does not retract with glass?

Hey guys, did a search on here but nothing popped up

I recently did plugs and cleaned the throttle body, I disconnected the battery to reset the ECM.
The windows reset just fine but when my sunroof went back it made a crunch noise and now the sun shade wont retract with the glass and there is a black plastic bracket that is attached to the back side of the sunroof but flops up and down.

Anybody have this issue and a fix?

Thanks

I am having the sunshade issue as well. Took it to lexus and they said it would be $1,000 to fix with labor and parts. My sunshade is stuck in the middle position and blocks my rear view mirror "view"

Let me know if you find an affordable fix . Good luck

The sunshade that blocks the glass in the sunroof

Sounds expensive...I have a feeling the piece that broke is part of the sunroof housing...which means you have to drop the interior roof and pillar trim...I don't think you can buy parts...I think you have to get the entire assembly...which runs about $1500...
