Poll: How do I tell my parents that I dont want my present?

Question

Here is a short detail of the situation. I got a 2010 Cobalt. Im paying for it. Spoiler for last Christmas. This side shop did it. This Christmas I got a sunroof and the same shop is doing it. However, last time this shop put a sunroof in my 1998 taurus when my parents bought it and I bought it from then when I was 16. This sunroof was always broke and it was pointless because it didnt work. My parents said a professional would do it. Like a dealership to make sure its legit. Yet, I opened it today and it was a recipt for the shop that did the spoiler. I dont want to have a shitty sunroof on my brand new car and have problems with it and be outta luck if this company is no more. Also, all sales final. I do not know how to tell them Id rather not have a sunroof than have one that will cause me problems like the one before.

Update:

Also, since its not factory built it wont have the sliding cover to keep the sun out if I dont want to use the sunroof. Which is obvious the car didnt come with it. The spoiler is a different story tho. Because its a spoiler.

Update 2:

Jesi: unlike some people there parents buy them a new car. I however bought mine. And I could not afford one with a sunroof and spoiler. So my parents are giving me them as presents.

Just tell them you had problems with your last sunroof and would just rather avoid the whole thing now. Say thanks but you really don't mind not having one. The ball is then in their court to suggest a different present, or you could just say you're fine, you don't need anything. That's the adult way to deal your situation. Say you could all go out to dinner once instead.

ew, didn't really know they could do aftermarket sunroofs. sounds like an issue. did they know you had problems with the other sunroof? i had a 95 saturn once, it was cute but the sunroof had a short in the switch or something and got stuck open and my dad doesn't do sunroofs-if they have an issue he seals them. bam, when closing it he broke the sliding cover and i couldn't keep the inside of my car cool to save my life (no ac either).
