Rear Window Shade
Does anybody have a photo or two of how the retractable shade looks like extended with relation to the cover & opening, plus a photo of how the shade draw arms/track look like? I'm trying to figure out why mine doesn't want to extend (motor works).
Thanks again!

Most likely and issue with the linkage...
I've heard of this issue before.
You'll want to start by removing the rear shelf covering (right behind rear headrests). It is held in place by metal pins, and requires a lot of force to remove. Be careful, but assertive ;-)
Once you've got the cover off you should be able to see the actual mechanism below. This should give you a visual indication of what might be wrong. There could be a seized arm that needs lubrication. I've also heard of broken/bent pieces, which may require replacement.
At any rate, get an extra set of hands on deck to press the buttom while you watch.
Let us know your observations.
