Rear window shade
My rear window shade is stuck in the closed position, i can hear it attempting to "open" but no luck. i don't use it.. at all.. with 15% tint but it just bothers me that it doesn't work. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have searched the forum with little luck.. no real solutions aside from replacing it or driving down a bumpy road to jiggle it loose..

have someone hit the button in the cab while you hit under the rear deck on the drivers side in the truck and you may be able to get it loose - mine broke and found a used one on ebay out of an totaled E paid $200 + 2 hours labor vs $1600 installed at the dealer - its a ***** to replace - well hardest part is getting the rear headrests off.

I had an unpealed bumper sticker get rolled up into my rear shade, and then the shade didn't want to extend back out. I had someone push the button to extend it while I pulled it up. Got the bumper sticker out and the shade works fine again.
