Rear Sunshade
OK, I've read all the posts about the rear sunshade motor and all. My shade is stuck in the up position.
I'm thinking of tackling the problem and removing the rear deck myself because, and listen very carefully...
The stealership just quoted $1,200.00 to replace the motor.
Second thought - I'll leave it in the up position.

Any progress? My shade has 2 spots in which it get stuck when going down. I have to press it manually, I hear a click, and then it will go down when i press the button again. It has no problem of going up. I am not sure where to start taking the car apart to get to it.

I haven't done anything with the shade yet. It is currently stuck in the up position, and I'm not sure that I'm comfortable tearing everything apart just yet. I hate that I have something not working on my car.
