Any ideas?
I removed the load liner thing from my 2001 156 sportwagon in order to load it up with a lot of stuff.
I have come to put it back in, and found one of the end caps has come off, and therefore lost the springiness which means that the cover does not roll itself back when the tension is removed.

There are 2 metal rods, which look like they should be turned, but all they do is spring back.

Any ideas would be gratefully recieved, as I am not buying another, as it would cost an arm and a leg.
There must be a simple way of retensioning it.

(Pwig? Any ideas from the dealer....)

The end thingy dropping off and it losing all springyness is quite common.
Don't know of a solution. I'm afraid.
