Instead of normal grease i opted to use chemical grease which it wont brake down as easily as the normal grease.

So far its working like a charm!!!!!!!!!!!!

ssss

I have an '06 and the sunshade is stuck OPEN

When I push the button the arms move inwards an inch then stop. I believe the mechanical components are jamming. I had a friend shimmy the thing while i pressed the button and it started working again.. then I greased up the track hoping that it would stay functional but after a few days it stopped again! bah!

I still haven't found any good clear instructions to take it apart... Can you please share how you managed to get to inner world of that damn sunshade?
