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 ...

I figured you had the MCD. But, when you stated it would retract when the motor failed, that got me thinking. Yes, there is a spring in the MCD Gold Series. But, IF the motor fails the shade will do nothing. It will NOT retract and it will NOT fall down because of an extra spring. You then have to use a clothes pin or something to pin it up if it fails where it blocks your vision. But, as I stated, it will NOT auto retract when the motor fails. Doug
So, you are saying that this statement, "The Solar/Night Shade in your vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Safety Retraction feature, which will retract the Solar/Night Shade to the full upper position in the rare event of an internal motor failure." from the Winnebago Owner's manual and this one, "MCD Switch controlled motors for windshield applications are designed to automatically retract the day or night shade into the full up position in the unlikely event a motor fails." from the product manual and the MCD website are false?
Do you have a source?
Thanks,
Tom
