Seat Formentor Hybrid Sunblind Problem

I have a 2023 Seat Formentor Hybrid. The sunblind has stopped working. It is stuck and won't retract or extend. There is an error message stored. Could a defective motor really be the cause? It seems premature for an interior accessory like this to fail.

Summary of the thread

The 2023 Seat Formentor Hybrid's sunblind stopped working, with an error message indicating a potential issue. The problem was suspected to be a defective motor, which seemed premature for such a failure. After diagnosis by a technician, it was confirmed that the sunblind motor was indeed faulty, and replacing it resolved the issue.

Interesting issue. I seem to recall encountering a similar problem with my Seat Formentor. The car sunshade would only retract partially, and then stop. Did you notice any unusual noises when operating the sun visor before it failed completely? Also, was there any indication of increased resistance when trying to move it manually?

No unusual noises that I can recall, and I never tried to force it manually. Was your issue also related to the motor, and did you get an error message in the system?

Yes, in my case, the error log pointed to a faulty motor within the sunblind mechanism. The symptoms you describe align with what I experienced. While it might seem early for such a failure, these components are susceptible to wear and tear. I would recommend having it diagnosed by a qualified technician to confirm the issue before proceeding with any repairs. This will ensure accurate diagnosis and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Took it to the workshop as suggested. Diagnosis was a defective sunblind motor, just as suspected. The interior accessory is working perfectly again. The car blind replacement set me back 330€. Thanks for your help!
