There more trouble than there worth in my opinion, I would put it to rest and leave it, if the arms dont snap, they bend, jam, motor gives up, the switch breaks or falls in pieces.  ::)

Mine has the habit of not folding itself away properly, so it remains permanently 'up'. I use it as a privacy blind :)

Exactly. When the car was in use, I used to open & close the blind every so often, or rather she would always drive with it open ..... apparently you can't see through them properly  ??? I almost always had it closed. when i came to sell the car, the blind would open .... lack of use. It's not the easiest thing to remove when extended!    :o  ;D ;D
