    Went on a long drive last week and my kids pulled both rear door blinds out to their maximum and now the blinds are left dangling, and unable to retract back into the doors. Do I have to take in the internal panels off the doors and replace, or is there a magic unicorn button somewhere that will sort this out?

    I've never even heard of them, or seen them listed on the Prius v Toyota site?

    It's called the Prius Plus here in the UK... Prius v (lowercase v) in the states... either way, it's the blinds I'm having to fix..

    Take it back to the dealer. I've had it happen on both sides and now I've stopped using it.

    Just pulled mine out to full and they retract every time, looks like the kids may have pulled them beyond the limit or they are both faulty.
    No magic button I'm afraid :(
