Espace rear sun blind failure

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2016 Renault Espace (gasoline engine). The rear window sun blind has stopped working; it's stuck. Fuses are fine, but there's an error in the car's memory related to the sun blind motor. Suspecting the motor itself. Has anyone else encountered this?

I had a similar issue on my Espace, although it was a few years older. If the error memory points to the motor, it's likely the problem. Before going too far, are you sure nothing is obstructing the blind's path? Like a small toy?

Thanks! I've visually inspected it and don't see anything blocking it. The mechanism seems free, but the motor doesn't seem to be engaging. Was your issue identical, with the motor completely unresponsive?

Yes, mine was completely unresponsive, like a burned-out lightbulb. The dealer confirmed it was the motor, so I'd suggest a workshop to get it checked. Not much you can do yourself. They should confirm the diagnosis and give you a repair quote.

Appreciate the advice. A workshop visit it is! Hoping to avoid it, but it seems inevitable. For anyone else experiencing this, the estimated repair cost I received is around 330€.
