Sunroof Blinds not retracting

Is it a common thing with a freelander the blinds don't roll all the way back Rolling Eyes
Mind spring back just over 3 quarters of the way then i need to push the blind back leaving the blind baggy and hanging down slightly
Is this the way they are or should the blind roll all the way back so its hidden Question

My blinds do this, I have to roll the rollers to make it fully retract.

If they were extended for long periods of time, the springs inside have got "memory".
Leave them be as much as they retract and after/during several days will fully retract.
In a way it's normal, as they are intended to be used only when there is need to mask the sun further more.
