Despite numerous wiggles, pushes and hits the rear blind is still not coming up.
When I press the button the dash I hear a click so i guess something is working.
I have read this help guide taking note of the part when you have to remove the 3 torx screws as the blind could unwind:-
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152745304
Is there anything else that I need to look out for when attempting to remove?
While sitting in my car boot I see there are screws under the protective surrounding cover around the underside of the blind, would un-doing these screws allow me to view the blind without taking all the back seats out?
EDIT just noticed this looks like an amp and speakers nothing to do with the blind at all as I can see daylight in between that and the sunblind, I dont think this is mentioned in the above help guide.
Thanks in advance.

The blind lives between the rear parcel shelf cover and the actual metal rear parcel shelf, so you'll have to remove the cover to gain access to the blind itself.

hi,
thanks for the reply so that metal cover that is under the parcel shelf is an amp of some kind then and that will have to be removed as well, is there a guide on here somewhere.

If youy remove the tray holding the amp you will find some nuts holdind the shelf in place. remove the nuts and the shelf should come out, but IF the car has at some time had a new rear screen then you might find that the bonding for the screen is stuck to the shelf so you need some help to pull the bugger out. ::)

So if I take the amp out I can reach then rear sun blind then, yes?
Thanks again

You can get to the 3 bolts that hold blind to metal shelf with amp in place. The blind comes out with the parcel shelf

Hi oh yeah I know that cheers,
I just wanted to know if
(a) i can get to the rear blind without taking the back seat out
and
(b) if I do have to take out the rear seats do I then have to take the amp out as well
-
The seat backs fold down, you just need to remove the side bits.
Amp can stay put if you're just removing blind
-
oh ok that is good then, if it not raining in the morning I will give it a try as as long as the boys behave themselves
-
hi i am absolutely stuck I have got out everything so far but not the eyelets for the rear headrests I cannot work out how to get them out, any ideas please.
-
Yoy should pinch the sides of the headrest sleeve & they pop out, if not you can reach up behind from the boot area & try to pinch the sleeve where it sits boot side of the shelf & push them foward towards you :y
-
I am sure that boot side the eyelets and sleeve are not reachable but i will have a look cheers.
-
just had a quick look it doesnt look accessible from the boot side.
Sitting on the rear seat I have looked inside the eyelet and there looks like two plastic slots,
These can be pushed using a screwdriver either side of the eyelet inwards but still the eyelet doesnt move, even with a lot of force.

right nearly there, any idea how I can I disconnect the power block in the far left corner please?
I have tried pushing, wiggling, looking for parts to push to unlock it but cant really see anything.

Sorry don't know :-?

OK
I managed to unplug from the blind parcel rather than the boot connection cause there was no give on that.
I have got the blind out now.
I have noticed that there are two metal bars either side of the motor, these are absolutely hard and will not move.
Plus I cannot pull the blind itself up(manually in other words) it comes up about 3 inches and will not give anymore.
Can anyone remember if it is the same for them or can they check (be careful if you are not sure)
-
locking thread now, as it can be covered on other one.
