Sorry, should read "Rear Sunblind"
Can anyone point me how to troubleshoot the Rear Sunblind, seems not to be operating.
Pressing the overhead button you can hear a click and something trying to engage briefly each time the button is pressed.
Maybe there is a common issue.
Many thanks for any information.

Try pulling it up with fingers while 'wife' pressing the button.

Yes the problem is common.

Working on both sides, while the button is being pushed, worked for me.

Take care when pulling the sunblind.
I broke one of the plastic ends on one of the sidearms by doing so.
That plastic becomes brittle over time while exposed to sunlight...
