Happy to help a man/woman in need.

On a serious note, to avoid the problem you need to have the panoramic roof open somewhat to prevent the pressure build up that causes the problem. However b/c you'll get wind buffeting noise at speed, you should also have a window cracked just enough to allow airflow to prevent it. Now make sure you don't leave the sunroof in that position for more than a day and certainly not in the heat or else you'll have a problem closing it and keep in mind that fiddling with the window too much might prematurely cause the window regular to crap out.

Honestly your best solution is to just leave everything closed, do not open the trunk, roof, or windows. Ever. Enter only through the driver's door and do it as gently as possible as though you were trying not to awaken a sleeping bear. Then all will appear on your car as if it functions perfectly and your passengers will never know.

Problem solved. No charge.

Mine does the same thing but only when the doors are shut hard. If I close all doors normally, the hatch stays open. If I open it, then shut all doors, lock them, then walk away, the rear stays open. I would try adjusting the stoppers about a turn counterclockwise.
