Title: Front windshield shade repair
Post by: Caflashbob on July 09, 2016, 07:54:52 pm
I have a couple of the orginal front windshield shades I keep going but I am missing one of the reel mechanisms inside parts.

Spring and line.  Anyone have  a source for these.

Bob

I got mine from for travel parts. That was two years ago. Interestingly enough there is a left and right one so you need to get the correct one for the side that you're trying to repair, and the ones they replaced mine with were slightly larger than the originalI have since removed them for MCD shades and Tony from Bernds shop ended up with my originals

Howdy Bob,  We keep our front shades going as well.  I've bought the retractors from QFD products:  Eclipse Sunshades (http://qfd.us/)
1-800-530-8484  ask for Hilda.
As Tim mentioned there is  A and B retractor.  I ordered a couple of both.
Good Luck, Dave A
