Consumer Description

MY CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A REAR POWERED SUN SCREEN. I HAVEN'T USED THIS FEATURE IN 5 YEARS AND SUDDENLY IT POPS UP ABOUT 3/4 WAY UP. SINCE IT IS ONLY PARTIALLY EXTENDED, THE SIDE BRACKETS AND TOP BAR OF THE SUN SCREEN ARE REDUCING MY VISIBILITY OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. THE SUN SCREEN IS SUPPOSED TO RETRACT WHEN THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW AT NIGHT WITH SUN SCREEN EXTENTED 3/4 WAY UP. I BELIEVE THIS A SAFETY DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS IN THE CAR MANUAL TO RETRACT THE SUN SCREEN MANUALLY WHEN THE SUN SCREEN FAILED IN THE EXTENTED OR PARTIALLY EXTENTED POSITION.
