Hi all,

Has anyone got a spare and working rears unblind for the facelift omega elite? and also any advice on changing, is it easy? I understand it could be a case of removing from underneath or could this be disconnected from underneath and then just eased of of the parcel shelf from the top?

TIA

Dean

If you go to Maintenance Guides, then scroll down to “Trim, Cosmectics & Body”, you will find “Rear Blind Removal“.

It is a straight forward operation and I know as I retrofitted my rear blind after removing a rear shelf devoid of one

it's been a while since I removed one, but IIRC you're correct in that the rear shelf is undone from underneath in the boot .... but the shelf has yo come out with the blind.
Blinds sometimes stick & need a little help to get going again. The motor shaft has a short extension that you can help spin the motor with ....

cheers guys. I bought the car from my dad. He has owned for 14 years so I am now getting round to fixing a few issues (already fixed the troublesome sunroof lol) but I believe the clips have broke that pull the actual blind up, although the blind isn't now coming up at all since I got it so I think I may need to do a little more investigating

At least the blind is down while you remove the parcel shelf. The blind on mine once failed up ... removing the shelf with the blind up is ... interesting!

Oft I can imagine. i'm only just getting into this. used to do more years ago on cars then kids etc. had this omega since november and loving it. think my old man will want it back when I'm done so trying to fix everything.

On the off chance if anyone reading this has an imscher front grille or replica I'd be very interested, appreciative 

Cheers

 I might have a rear blind shelf, I would need to check, The switch would be a different matter..

Removing the shelf, can be a pain, if any of the rear screen bond has attached to the shelf...

If you have that would be great. I believe the switch is still working just the blind i need 

Thanks

I changed mine as it was stuck up when I got the car in the end I broke the arms so to get it out and just replaced it is a reasonably easy job to do unfortunately the donor one was black and not cream but that was simple just changed the cream ends and cover over just a bit tricky to keep the blind from unwinding but a bit of care and its turned out good
