Hello, My 2 month old Kodiaq has suffered it's first damage at the hand's of my 7 year old. Not exactly sure what he tried to do but the result is that the catch that hold the window blind in place is broken. Has anyone had this issue? It seems to be just in place by small bar that runs across the top of the blind but no obvious way to remove the bar. Is this fixing something that can be bought? Does the door card have to be removed to replace the catch? Is it back to the main dealer?

Hi MjWalsh,

I suspect it's one part with the door card (or one part number at least e.g. door card, rear, black, w/blind).  I'm not sure the blind module is available separately as a spare part.  Hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in soon.

 

In the mean time here is a picture of the door card, the blind roller thingo seems to be heat-staked in.  There does appear to be a sticker with a part number attached to the roller blind bit, bit I can't read it in the photo (sorry).

 

If you wanna take it off it's really easy.  See below.  Be gentle to avoid breaking the clips.  The one marked "4" in the picture (the grab handle) I have never been able to remove without deforming the plastic bits in side.

I'd be getting the superglue out in all honesty.........

2mm drill, long 1G socket screw and superglue.

I would also be drilling that out and gluing a rod or similar in place.. even cover it in black heat shrink to make it blend in..
