Default Repair/Replace rear windshield sunblind?

Has anyone here replaced or repaired their rear window sunblind?
On mine the fabric has detached from the frame.
How easy is it to get at and replace/repair?
Will I have to remove the parcel shelf and therefore the rear seats?

Thanks all, I will try to have a look at it this weekend if my lower back permits.
Hopefully it just needs the screen refitting into the top rail like in the video.

I have done this numerous times its easy but a pain in the *** honestly. The physical blind is held on by 4 10mm bolts and a one plug. The rear seats deck lid subwoofer cover and 3rd brake light all have to come out to get to it.

From what I have read on other threads, the sunshades are nearly obsolete, so very tough to buy one new.
