Re trimming sunroof blind

Post by henry krinkle »

Hi all

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove and retrim a sunroof blind ?

If it can't be removed has anyone ever retrimmed in place ?

Mine is sagging badly and I can't see how I'm going to be able to sort it

Any help or info much appreciated

Cheers

As above, you'll have to strip the whole unit out really which is rather involving.

You have to remove the glass 4 small bolts hold it to the runners, then lift it out to expose the blind which is held in by 4 spring clips release these then lift out.
