Rear Blind Woes
« on: 16 February 2007, 17:13:53 »
Basically My blind seems to sag on one side when up and when I press the button it doesn't roll the whole blind in, looking to remove it tomorrow and have a look can these be adjusted at all.

Seems to pull the top piece into the shelf but leaves 2inches or so of blind out.

Hope this makes sense

Cheers in advance for any suggestions

Bit of a pig to get out...rear seats, parcel shelf etc. It don't just unbolt in the boot.. :o
Mine broke in my first 96 Elite, found a second hand one for £50, spent hours changing it then it broke again after a week.
I'm glad my 03 Elite hasn't got one to worry about

Especially when it's been bonded in with a stray bit of rear window glue!  >:( Mine didn't come out at all till I lost my rag with it and dragged it out kicking & screaming (me that is! ::) not the blind)
My blind wasn't always realing all the fabric part of the blind in - the scissor action of the frame beat the fabric bit to the parcel shelf. Even after taking it all apart there wasn't really much that you could do to improve things. I wound the blind up & down several times on the bench and in the end just put all back. Most of the time it winds in OK - sometimes it doesn't. I just leave it up! Ooer!  ::)  ;D

Cheers for the responses, I know what you mean its a right pain to remove and refit.

Shall keep an eye on it but as you suggested I lowered and raised it a few times and it looks to be closing ok for the moment.
