    Rear Sunshade Driving Me NUTZ!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    ok so i recently bought a 2005.5 S4. It has the rear sunshade, and for some reason it is stuck in the up position. (has been since i bought the car... didn't check it haha) Its not a complete loss......With the tint and the shade, it is practically impossible to see in through the rear window. HOWEVER, that goes both ways. Backing up is horrible! Is there a tride and true way to MAKE it go down? like can i just jump 12V to the motor and let it retract? When i push the button on the dash i can hear something click in the rear by the sunshade (im assuming its the relay that controls the motor) Id just rip the thing out, but i don't know if it can be done while it is in the "UP" position. Anyone experience this or have any ideas? I'd gladly live without it, but I'd rather fix it(and not spend $500 at Audi doing it)

    Remove it entirely. Might as well it's probably fried.

    Ugh, I have to look into this too. Mine's stuck down but I'd like to get it working again

    I'd look underneath like near the stock subwoofer. Could be that that's where the motor is
