[W126 Coupe] Question on electic rear shade

[Edward]

I guess rarity is relative; I hunted for and had both an SEL and an SEC.
Most of the good condition California 560 SECs had it, very few of the other
SECs I looked at had it, and I couldn't find ANY SELs with it (though I know
they existed as I saw one afterwards).

The rarity also comes with the fact that many of them have been abused or
sun-soaked and no longer work.

I found mine to be very useful, both for privacy and to block out the
California Sun.

Regards,

Edward

A great option but at this age, many have stopped working... 

Mine had a broken nylon rope as per below but I have come across many with
failed retractor springs. When these go there is not much that can be done
apart from replacement with a 2nd hand blind.

One of those options you have to have but will rarely use..
