I've never heard such a thing.  I've never seen any Verde with trunk lid
carpeting, and beyond the windows and mirrors I don't know what other power
options there might be (except the sunroof).

Does your Verde have AC?

I have heard from one person on the Verde register that there were very few
Verdes without sunroofs (much less than 200).  You can check out the Verde
register at:
