Inside of the Rear Electric blind motor

Dominic22 · 29th July 2012, 14:19

My blind in the ZT was a bit temperamental, so I took the parcel shelf off and re-greased the motor. I could not find a picture so for those interested here is the motor. The grease was horrible, so I had scrapped what I could out and then re-greased and replaced. IT is much smoother now. Did not take a picture after I re-greased

Hi Dominic

Well done, this should help someone !

Discussed this subject some time ago at length & I suggested that it was hard grease that was causing the problem from my own experience.

I didn't take any pictures at the time !!

The other common problem of course is cracked field magnets where people tap the motor to get it going again.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi, im having the common issue of the switch working to enable the click of the relay just to sunblind action!

Any guides/tips on how to remove the parcel shelf (has harman kardon under the parcel shelf also so unsure if it makes it more tricky?) I did thump the parcel shelf a few times but this dont make a difference and dont want to try harder.

It was working like a dream untill it suddenly stopped.

Any particular grease to use? I have a general purpose one for door locks etc by Comma but its quite thick?

Please help! Thanks.
