Mine stopped working once and I accidently gave the amp area in the boot a hard knock with some wood I was putting in and it started working again.

Sounds like I should be thumping the parcel shelf while making the switch instead of gently easing the blind's arms

With the help of someone do both - if its not working at present you almost have nothing to lose. With it raised you could lube it up and "test" once a week to keep it ticking over

..... and "test" once a week to keep it ticking over

that's the root cause ...... the car has rarely turned a wheel all year.

As others have said, it needs to come out.

Head restraints and guides out, both seat bolsters out (which means the seat bench out), can get away with C/D pillar trims staying in situ, remove the centre armrest latch/screw. 3 white push-to-fit latches at rear of parcel shelf, just under rear window.

Its quite easy to break the parcel shelf.

Once out, if it works, use a plastic curtain rail lube to fully lube up the runners, and refit - try not to allow any distortion on refit.

Once working, use it or lose it!

Removed parcel shelf/blind ....... it's a lot more fun when the blind is stuck up rather than down! 

Wound the blind down by hand via the short extension on the motor spindle. Re-fitted & Hey Presto ..... it works     . If only I could have got to it in situ.

Proper job! I really should go and test mine...

Summers just around the corner we'll all be using them regularly

And that's part of the reason. Mine normally stays up (ooer!) It's a shame they didn't come with 'limo tints'

sounds like these blinds give you lots of problems leading to the excessive use of lube and problems with things staying up

How rude!
