Rear sunshade missing?

Hey y'all,
I recently took delivery of a CPO 335i. I was driving the other day, and a friend noted that the rear passenger window sunshade was missing from one side. I'm 99% sure it was intact when I bought the car; in fact, I think it was replaced under BMW certification. Will warranty cover this? Anyone heard of this happening before? I thought it blew out when I lowered the windows, I keep hearing a buffeting sound when I lower all the windows. Not sure if it's a sunshade, seatbelt, maybe something else?

Thanks!

Warranty doesn't cover when you lose something. That buffeting sound you hear is probably normal, modern cars are designed to be driven with the windows closed at highway speeds.

I don't think it's my fault that I lost it. It's not supposed to come out when you lower the window...

The buffeting wasn't like wind noise, it's like a piece of cloth or something, like a tarp in the wind.

Maybe it's the ever elusive sun shade????
