So my rear sunshade is not working properly and gets stuck halfway up. According to Acura of Westchester its going to need a new motor and it will cost about $550..

Last year I bought a extended warranty from them, which I am still covered for, but the dealership told me Acura will not cover the motor for the shade. I could have sworn when I bought the extended warranty they said it was covered. Also, when looking at the paperwork for the warranty one of the things that is covered is "Computers/Electronics:including switches, sensors. SRS control unit".

When I asked the guy why the sunshade is not covered he said he didnt know but it might have to do with it being part of the interior trim. He said I would have to take it up with Acura. I told him I see no difference between the rear sunshade and any of the windows. You push a button for that object (window or shade) to go up and down and if it doesnt work then its a problem with the sensor or the motor moving that object. I bring this up becuase I was told the window motor is covered under the warranty. I could understand if it was a wear and tear item or interior lightbulbs but you would think a motor on a sunshade should be covered.

So my question is, has anyone had a rear sunshade fixed under warranty?

 

I have under the 4/50 warranty - haven't had to under my extended waranty.

 

1 If the motor puts it half way up then the motor is working. It may be a sensor or a physical mis-alignment.
2 Check the warranty, is the rear sunshade a line item exemption? If not then it's covered. A motor is NOT interior trim.
3 Try the nice approach first, courtesy fix mat come your way.

 

And take it up with Acura if you have to. They generally seem to be generous in helping customers, especially the ones who gave them $50k for their car.

 

Had your same issue & also got it repaired under the 4/50 warranty..

 

take it to another dealer...
