GS Sun Blind Defective

Hi, I have a 2008 Lexus GS with a gasoline engine. The sun blind is defective; it no longer retracts or extends, gets stuck, and there's an error code. Is it a big problem?

Good day. Based on your description, it does sound like the sun blind motor may be defective. Does the error code specifically mention the sun blind, or is it a more generic code?

Thanks for your reply! I think the error code is specific to the sun blind. Do you know if it's difficult to fix by myself?

While some minor repairs can be DIYed, a malfunctioning sun blind motor often requires specialized tools and expertise to access and replace, not to mention electrical knowledge. I would strongly suggest having a qualified workshop diagnose and repair the issue to prevent further damage or injury.

Thanks! I took your advice and went to a local garage. They confirmed it was the motor and replaced it. Cost me 330€, but at least it's working again.
