Question "Turn Off" closing the rear sun shade in reverse?

I know when we have our sun shade up it automatically closes when I put the car in reverse...is there any way to turn this feature off?

Short of disconnecting it while it's up, there is nothing else you can do. It's a safety feature since most state DOTs require you to look out the rear window when reversing.

Once backup cameras are accepted as rear window substitutes, we may also see some cars without rear windows!

thats funny, mine used to go down automatically when i reversed. after i changed my battery it stoped doing that. i figured it has to be programed. try disconnecting your battery for a few minutes.
