Adjust the Sunshade
I recently installed a subwoofer in my rear deck, since I bolted everything back up the sunshade is angled slightly off. Now I'm not sure how I pulled that off, its just 3 screws that hold it down, and they are all down tight. I added 2 layers of sound deading material, but that might have only moved the shade up 2-3mm.
Now My sunshade is scrapping against the rear glass ever so slightly. Is it possible to adjust it to fit nice?
I was thinking of pushing the bolts forward from inside the trunk then tightening them down, but is a friction hold going to be enough for a stable mount?

I'll have to see if it will hold. But the solution was simple.
1. loosen nuts
2. tap with rubber hammer until in place
3. add washers (if needed, my sheet metal was alittle warped, if this doesnt hold I'll put in locking washers)
4. Tighten nuts

The wheels work fine.
It was at such a high angle that it was having trouble moving up the glass. Which resulted in a herky jerky skipping up the glass movement.
Those little wheels are hella cool though
