Electric sunroof sunshade

[AhmedRSi]

Car is mk2ph1 RSI 1.616v with electric sunroof.

Earlier somehow managed to pull the sunshield sunshade material out of the rails it travels on. Now i cant seem to get it back to how it was? Any ideas how it should be sitting? im half tempted to just rip it all out....

Does anyone know how this is meant to sit on? ive put it back into the rails but now when you pull it open/closed the mechanism is very rough and jaggedy and it often just breaks again

Bump...!

Just realised this fixed itself but im now wondering who I could go about changing the sunshade?

To do it properly, the glass needs to be removed. 2 Torx 20 screws to remove from each side, bit fiddly but can be done. You will then have access to the sun blind. It held in with 3 clips. Carefully unsnap each clip by moving the tags towards the front of the car. Remove the blind. The blind is sprung loaded, you can re-tension the spring by winding it back up. Tricky part is keeping it all together to refit as, as soon as you let go of it, the spring will unwind itself. Probably a job for 2 poeple, one either side of the car to guide it back in and snap the lugs into place.

Hope that helps and good luck.

Does yours rattle a lot when it's not pulled out Ahmed? Mine won't shut up and I'm wondering if it's not sitting properly.

I think thats whats wrong with it then, the spring must have un-tensioned. Wish I had someone to help me with this 2 man job ftl

This was broken on my old RT, in the end i just manage to roll it back up by pushing the rollers round with my fingers. Or just rip it out as its rubbish anyway.
