Side Blind Issue

[JPCL]

Hello everyone , I'm having problems with the side blind on my T6 ocean (the one by the sliding door) I can pull it down but can't get it to retract up. Is there any quick fix? it's a 2016 reg DSG califonia ocean. We recently had anew seals installed for the side door & driver side door.

Check the end plug is not in the bottom of the channel (as in my post ), you do need to look closely
