I have had a look in the maintenance section but cannot find a thread about a 'fix' for the blind but a removal guide.... maybe to 'fix' the thing I can add my own intelligence and remove the motor, wind the blind in and refit the motor ..... there we go, I used my own initiative LOL

needs to be reassembled with the motor sync'd to blind (or more accurately, the "gearbox" sync'd to blind position)

Use a dry lubricant, like the stuff for nylon curtain rails, in the groves on the blind.

The only dry lubricant I can think I have is pencil lead... (I have used it a few times before to great effect)...

I'll wait until the weather decides its going to be dry for at least a day before I decide to go and have a go at fixing it... I need to remove the rear speakers anyway as I need to put some sound deadening material (Dynamat etc..) onto the metal shelf, as the 6.5" subs Iv installed there don't seem to like being bolted directly to the metal...

The silicone type spray for sticky plastic curtain rails works wonders.

This type of stuff, but available much cheaper from DIY stores:

I think I currently use a wd40 branded one, as it was what Brackley DIY had, I'll check if ever the monsoon stops

I have a can of silicone spray, I bought it for the seatbelts in my old Vectra B as they never returned when they should have.... I'll give that stuff a go when the rain eventually stops....

You must have the last fl rear blind switch in the world rob ... im still looking for one    Priceless 

I might have one you can have but you'll have to wait until I'm back at my lock up next weekend for me to have a look

Did it work for the seatbelts? If so, where did you spray it?
