Highlander Sun Blind Defect

Hello, I have a problem with my 2003 Toyota Highlander, gasoline engine, at 61933 km. The sun blind is defective; it no longer retracts or extends and gets stuck in one position. The error memory has also stored an error. I suspect the motor of the sunblind is defective. Has anyone else experienced this?

The 2003 Toyota Highlander's sun blind is defective, failing to retract or extend, and is stuck in one position. A stored error and prior grinding noise suggest a motor issue. The problem was confirmed to be the motor, which was replaced at a workshop, resolving the issue.

I had a similar issue with the sun visor on my older BMW 5-series. The sun blind was getting stuck, and it turned out to be a motor issue as well. Was there any grinding noise before it stopped working?

Yes, there was a slight grinding noise for a few weeks before it finally stopped. Do you think it's definitely the motor then? Did you replace it yourself, or did you have it done?

Based on the grinding noise and the symptoms, it's highly likely the motor. I would recommend taking it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed and replaced. I brought my BMW to the workshop.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and it was indeed the motor. The replacement cost 330€. Now it works perfectly again!
