MCD Motorized Privacy Shade Issue

2016 Itasca Suncruiser 38Q-U1. Having trouble with the front motorized MCD privacy shade. The shade goes up and down well enough but after each day's travel it creeps down a fraction of an inch. We've been on the road since early March and the privacy shade is now down about 3-inches below the full up position (see photo). The yellow dot is the last time I marked the shade's position about 3-weeks ago. Sooner or later the shade is going to interfere with my view of the road. This has been an ongoing problem for the last year or so.



- Lowering and raising does not solve the issue.

- The shade limits have been re-set at least half a dozen times between myself and the shop. Resetting them is getting old...fast.

- The solar shade is NOT exhibiting the same problem.

Has anyone had the same experience and what was the fix? Replacement?? Haven't called MCD yet but will depending on the replies to my post.

Thanks.

    I'm a do it myself-er if possible due to high cost of service calls, so if I had this problem, I'd take a binder clip and clip it to the solar shade while driving. Take it off during set up. My MCD shades on my bago 2014 sightseer have been great. Just a thought.
