Skoda Yeti Sun Blind Problem

Has anyone else had issues with the sun blind on their 2011 Skoda Yeti diesel? The sun blind, part of the window visor, just stopped working. It neither retracts nor extends now. It's completely stuck in one position. It also has an error stored in the error memory. I suspect the motor is defective. Seems like a sun protection problem. Thoughts?

Whoa, that sucks! I had the exact same problem with my Yeti. The car sunshade just wouldn't move, stuck solid. Drove me nuts! Was it making any weird noises before it packed up?

Interesting you had the same issue. No, no weird noises beforehand. Just stopped working. The sun blind in the interior accessory is just stuck. Did yours also throw an error code?

Yep, error code was there too. No noises like you, just sudden stop. If it’s electrical and throwing codes, and it's stuck, yeah, sounds like the motor. Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it yourself if you're not super confident. I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop.

Took it to the workshop as you suggested. It was the motor, like we thought. New motor and labor cost me around 330€. Thanks for your help!
