Crossland X Sun Blind Failure

I'm having a spot of bother with my 2018 Vauxhall Crossland X, diesel engine. The sun blind seems to have given up the ghost. It no longer retracts or extends properly, essentially stuck fast. I've had a look and there's also an error logged in the system. From what I can gather, it's most likely a defective motor on the sun blind itself. Anyone else run into this?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with the sun visor on my old Peugeot 308 a few years back. It would get stuck halfway and make a right racket trying to move. Did you try giving it a bit of a nudge while pressing the button? Sometimes that would work for me, temporarily at least.

Thanks for the tip! I did try manually assisting it, but no luck. It's completely jammed. Did your Peugeot show any error codes, or was it purely a mechanical problem?

Yeah, it did throw up a code in the end. I messed about with it for ages then just took it to a local garage to have a look. They said the motor was knackered and gave me a quote, so, yes similar issue. Probably best to take it to a workshop and avoid making it worse.

Appreciate the advice. I think a workshop visit is inevitable. Just got a quote for around 330€, so I'll get it booked in. Thanks again.
