couldn't do it in my case. once rear glass was removed both halves of the shade were stuck all the way i the back in the resting position stacked on top of each other. no amount of pressing sunroof button or going through the reset/initialization process would free any part of the shade to come forward.

maybe if the front half would come out, its possible i may have been able to get the rear piece out someway but not both on top of each other like it was.

so are you saying you have repaired your shade? did you use a repair kit? which one did you use?
