Hi guys. I’ve just added a spoiler to the top of the windshield on my 2015 plate GSA TE. It works well, but means that I now don’t need the screen at its topmost setting like before. Best position with the spoiler in place is a couple of inches lower than fully up.
Trouble is, at any position other than full up or full down, the screen has a definite wobble. I’ve had a quick check that nothing obvious has come undone, and come to the conclusion there is some slack within the winder mechanism that is causing the wobble.
I can’t find anything about how the tension is applied. I’m assuming that it’s a bit like the spring in a clockwork motor. I didn’t just want to go undoing screws and have everything suddenly coming undone. There’s nothing in the Haynes manual (is there ever?).
Is it possible to “re-tension” the mechanism that winds the screen up and down, please, and what’s the best way?
Thanks.
Tom
