Screen/Shade Removal

foxden

I need to take out the front screen/shade unit for replacement (2017 model) and can't find the screws that hold the bottom of the unit in.  The top screws are easy to find and remove.  Has anyone removed that front unit on a recent S Max and if so, where are those bottom screws?  Thanks!

The screen is uni-directional (i.e. it can be installed with the shade at the bottom or screen at the bottom).  Therefore, the four corners are identical.  Pop off the four plastic end-caps to access the screws.

I would have thought so too.  But I finally found them.  They are tucked up under the shade material, about 1/2" in from where the top screws are.  There are multiple holes they could have used so I don't know if this is the standard location for 2017s or if it was just a different choice.  Either way, the screen has been successfully removed.  I have pictures if anyone else has trouble finding them.

And thanks for responding, @Tabaz

@foxden Could you post the pictures please?

The screwdriver is pointing to the hole used to attach the bottom (shade side) of the unit.  The hole down and to the left of that is the one that was used on the top (screen side).  Sorry, just realized the photo is sideways.  That is the lower left corner of the unit.

Thanks, no wonder I didn't see it, it was buried.
