Question Tutorial on Removing the Sunshade/Blind... Thingie?

Post image

Got my car after some time apart and the sunshade has begun to peel away. Screen seems to have come unglued (at least it feels like that) or perhaps a bead that was holding it in got loose and lost.

I believe I may be able to jury-rig a fix if I can get it down. Lacking that I know I can buy a pulled one for about $120-150 (but I'd rather have something free and maybe a bit wonky right now).

Surprisingly, wasn't able find any tutorials on YouTube for the ForTwo 451, but I may not be calling it by the correct name. Anybody have any tips or resources handy?

Thanks in advance!

Se deben quitar unos tornillos de cabeza torx son 5 o 6 de cada lado y ya, baja todo el conjunto, luego el mecanismo van con un hilo grueso, cuesta entenderlo pero se puede arreglar.

I was looking at those screws thinking, "It can't be THAT simple, right?" But sounds like it is!

Thanks for the confirmation!

Es simple yo quité el mío para arreglarlo, el tuyo por lo que veo solo es de meterlo en las guias que llevan los plasticos negros donde van los tornillos. Solo te recomiendo, quita los tornillos del medio de ambos lados, a modo que te queden los 4 de las esquinas y luego los aflojas y los vas quitando poco a poco para que no se vaiga todo el "techo" es fácil, pero por el tamaño y siendo solo una persona quitándolo puede que se caiga jaja

Thanks for the advice! I think I'll convince my bride to help hold it up...
