Hi All,

Hoping someone knows how to correct this issue.
The rear door window shades were sticking, and not going up all the way, instead reversing back down. Well, with a bit of wiggling and helping, I got them to work, only one problem. When one was up I pulled up a bit too much (maybe 1 inch), and now the reel won't pull the netting back in. Like a seat belt that is pulled to its' limit and won't retract. Anyone have a technique to make the spring reel in the shade again and keep the tension when the mechanism retracts? I hope that is not too confusing. I'll take a pic. Just to be clear, the power unit goes up and down fine, just the fabric won't retract.

I had a problem with the manual L\S window sunshade in mine. I couldn't get the fabric to retract after I yanked it up either. It was stuck at the half way up point prior. I picked a new one up from eBay for $32 bucks, popped the door panel off and replaced it and all is well. Good luck.

Here's one. I love the stitching and the carbon fibre accents.

Thanks Mike. Maybe I'll try taking off the panel and fiddling with mine.

More pics! First amaretto/black s8 I've seen. Is the stitching different color as well?

F117 aviator by chance?

Mine is the same, it is a special built...

I didn't realize this was a rare color scheme. I sure like it though. Now if only the original owner had opted for ventilated seats....

That stitching looks excellent.

I have to agree its a nice colour combination and the extended leather dashboard is sweet, shame its a leftie though

That B&O sound system must be freakin' awesome!
