Roller blind

I really hate to bring this up but I can't for the life of me figure out the roller blind. The button on the dash doesn't do anything and I figured I didn't have that option since I bought the vehicle used. But after a VIN check it seems the car did come with the rear roller blind.

I'm taking the car in and having some other things done and I figured I'd have them check this too but I want to make sure how it works. Where exactly does the blind come from? I have a black plastic bar in the rear deck panel which I assume has something to do with it? Or does it drop down? There's no tracks that I can see. I've searched everywhere hoping to see the operation of the blind but can't find it.

I want to make sure of how it works, where the blind actually is and be certain it's even on the vehicle before I add that to the list of things for the dealer to check.

Comes up from bottom.

No side tracks for sure.

No response to button could suggest a fuse, but, then, fuses blow for a reason, as in something could be jammed.

Thanks. I figured it was that black bar that runs along the rear window deck. I can hear something when I push the corresponding button so it may be jammed. I'll add that to the list.
