the clips that attached to the shade are broken (pics below).

how can i fix this? can i order new clips or does the entire assy. need to be replaced (i hope not)? the mechanism works completely fine, it's just those clips.

There was someone that was making the clips. You will have to search this forum. If you have your rear sunshade set to "Automatic" you might consider changing that to manual. I leave mine up all summer long and lower it in the winter.

I know Mishar had replaced his with metal clips but I don't think he has any more. He retired.

I bought a set a few months ago. Not sure if from Gruvenparts or someone else. Check their site. If not there, I'll look for it in a few days. I heading home from Alaska now and can't research.
