Question Rear windows roller blinds went inside

I recently bought a 2016 E200 W212 but it came with the roller blinds stuck inside, is there any way to get them out without removing the door panel?

In all honesty, removing the door panel is super easy. It might actually be easier them fishing it with a hook.

Yeah, plus there's a new rattle when closing the drivers door so I gotta investigate that. However, I'll be going with the hook option as I don't have a lot of experience with car work, and I'm not free this time of year to start learning.

$15 in tools from Harbor Freight (a multi point screwdriver and set of plastic panel removal wedges), 15 minutes at YouTube University, 15 minutes of time and your panel is off. It's pretty easy.

As I said, I'm not very free this time of year (I'm mostly free for 5 - 10 min at a time), plus there aren't any close hardware shops around me. In the end I will end up removing the door panel to fix the driver's door rattle.

A locksmith should do it for you if you don't want to remove the door panel .It's the first time I have ever seen that
