fixing sunroof shade

any one know how to fix or replace the spring in the shade? My shade doesn't pull back all the way. It stops like 2\3 the way.

any way to take the thing apart?

anyone else have suggestions, or even how to access the things?

I just pulled the trim around the sunroof in mine.. That part is easy… couldn't access the roller for the blind though… I couldn't find anything in the manual, Besides the fact, you have to remove the headliner to access the motor for the Sunroof... Since the mechanism for the blind is underneath that.. PIA!!
