Motorized Sun Shade
We bought a used Rv, the sun shade didn't work, so they installed a new motorized sun shade, but when we used it, found out that the only way you can put it down, is to stop, turn off motor to get it ...

It seems to me that if one can't lower it while driving, it's not really useful. How many of us start out and say to ourselves, "I need to lower the visor now, because I will be driving into the sun in 3 hours.
The motorize sun visor on our coach, is use as a night shade. With the engine off, it will lower to cover the entire windshield. With the ignition on, ti will come down only a limit amount. If down when the engine is started, it will raise back up to its limit.

They usually have the shades in 2's. A Screen shade and a Blackout solid shade. The screen usually is NOT connected to down parameters. The Black out shade is. IF you have the solid shade ONLY, they try to limit its operation with the Key ON. But that is up to the OEM. Doug
Both of ours, one called the night shade, the other called the solar shade, are limited the same. If the ignition is on, neither can be down lower than visor height. More over, according to the owner's manual, if the drive motor fails, both shades are retracted.

Please give Brand of shades. HOW can the shades retract if the motor fails???????? Doug
