Is there a lower limit for windshield shade?

By Mia Walsh |

Is there a lower limit for windshield shade?

Release the rocker about mid-way down the windshield, just so you can see under the shade while driving. This is the lower limit. If you need to go further down, the shade will now “bump” down a bit by pushing and releasing the rocker. You can only bump the shade towards the down position. DO NOT try to go up.

How do you change the shade on a windshield?

Push the Learning Key (button) ON and, at the same time, push the dash mounted shade rocker switch you use to put that shade up or down. Push the rocker switch so the shade travels “up” if it is in the down position or “down” if the shade is in the up position.

What to do if your MCD windshield Shade does not go up?

If either shade will not go up after trying to reprogram them, start at the bottom of the shade material and roll the shade onto itself all the way up to the tube and fasten it with a bungee cord, rope or another securing device. Call MCD Tech Support for assistance: 800-804-1757.

How can I change the direction of the shade?

Reverse the shade direction (up or down) from the direction you were initially moving the shade and do not release the button until the shade reaches the other limit you want to set. You will first hear one to three beeps before the shade travels in the opposite direction. This indicates that that limit has been set.

How can I lower the shade on my windshield?

Bring the shade up to where you want it to stop at the upper limit. Again, you can bump it up if needed but not down. Finally, reverse the Rocker Switch once again and go down a few inches and release. This will take the shade motor out of the programming mode. Test the shade by running it down and see if it stops at the lower limit.

How to test windshield shade upper and lower limits?

Test the shade limits by pushing the dash switch up to the upper limit and down to the lower limit. If all is well, you can now perform the same adjustment on the other shade (day or night) with the ignition ON if you desire. NOTE: Once the ignition ON settings is changed, you MUST reset the limits for the Ignition Off settings.

What should I do about my RV Day / Night Shades?

When storing your RV, be sure to raise the Day/Night shades all the way up into the complete open position. This helps the pleats keep their shape and prevents as much dust and dirt from accumulating on them. If your RV Day/Night shades are beyond repair, we recommend RecPro for purchasing new Day/Night shades.
