Rear Power Sunshade - Stuck/Sticking at Top position
Hello,
I recently bought a M3 E92 2012 Model vehicle, LHD. I pressed this rear power sunshade button on the dash. The sunshade came up. However, now it will not go back down. When i press the button, I hear some clicks and i can see that the two arms on the rear sunshade are attempting to contract. They move just 5 to 10mm inwards, but not enough to actually put the sunshade away. Has anyone else had a similar issue? And can you advise me how to fix it, or how to at least put it away? FYI - this is my first M3 and I have no experience so far with dismantling and assembling the vehicle - I am happy to have a go though. Thanks in advance. |

I have an '12 e92 m3 with the power sunshade, however I've only used it a handful of times then I tinted my car. It worked flawlessly, haven't ran into any trouble with it. It should go down relatively easy if it was working correctly.

I had mine replaced under warranty for the same issue. I've used it a dozen or so times since (maybe 2 years) and it broke again. Just leave it down (it looks ugly anyway) and get tint.
Edit: to put down you will need someone to push the button while you give a nudge to the side bars. Just push them towards the center of the car and it will come down. |

Same issue with mine. From what I've heard and extensive research, the motor is going out. You will need to replace it with this part. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...k/51469149848/ Not worth replacing to me but if it's in your budget, feel free!

In case you don't have someone to help... I just sit in the back seat; hit the button; then quickly push the arms inward. You may need to be a bit of a Ninja to get it to work though...

Facing the SAME issue. Got the M3 1 week back.
It was going up and down properly before but today when it came up it's not going down. I have a feeling the 11 F is the issue. The temps were fine till yesterday and the shade was working fine as well. Gonna leave her in the garage for a couple of hours and hope for the best. Just a feeling. |
