My car's rear sun shade rattle in collapsed position (driver side) when car goes over bumps. When the shade is up, no rattling at all. I could move the driver side end of the shade (when it is collapsed) up/down a little bit. The passenger side end of the shade is solid, not movable at all.

Does this means the top piece of the shade is broken ? Any procedure is available to remove the shade out of the car for further inspection ?

Thanks,

have you tried comparing each side, to check if there are any rubber spacers etc missing from the drivers side? you may have a broken or missing stop for the blind.

I did check the rubber wheel (spacer) at the both ends. They are good. When the shade is in up position, I can see the the rubber wheels against the rear windows. The whole shade was tight and solid in up position.
