The fabric that covers the interior retractable shade under the sunroof has started coming loose at edges. Now the fabric is sagging and the shade cannot retract. Dealers says a new shade is required and will cost $1500. Vehicle has 46,000 miles and this sunroof is rarely used.
Dealers don’t perform upholstery repairs, they replace parts.
Find a vehicle upholstery shop to repair the sun shade.

Good advice above. Maybe if you posted a photo you might get some diy’er ideas. I used a bevy of straight pins (like that come with a new shirt) to “repair” my Corolla’s drooping fabric roof headliner.
You can try using something like this to fix it.

A few years back at Walmart I found what they call twist pins [ they look like a straight pin twisted in to a cork screw shape ] that worked good for me.
