Similar problems with out 2007 Avalon Limited. The rear shade quit operating, we had it repaired under an extended warranty we purchased with the auto.

How are the shade arms attached to the motor?
The shade arms are controlled via tubular arms acting on a pivot at the outside bottom edge of the assembly. The tubular arms are attached to a yoke attached directly via keyed fit to the motor shaft. This shaft is part of the larger metal gear in the motor housing.
What happens when the sunshade fails to retract?
The sunshade is designed to automatically retract into the ‘down’ position when the car is put in reverse; if this failure has occurred, the sunshade will make a loud grinding sound for about 15 seconds while the sunshade attempts (and fails) to retract into the ‘down’ position. It will also make the sound even IF the sunshade is already retracted.
