it's easier if u have someone to help u remove it... one person stand at either side of the car.

From memory, you just slide the clips at each side (at same time) and pull it out.... don't need to force it tho!.... then the fun begins.... trying to fold it to put it back in its bag!!!.... but i got illustrative instructions with mine that are easy to follow... did u not? or are u one of these people who doesn't follow instructions and would prefer to struggle on ur own? (oh no sorry... that's men that do that isn't it!!! .... sorry couldn't resist that!! ... Apologies to the men!!)

((PS> if u just want to 'fold it down' and not actually remove it... you just 'push it down'!!))

Once removed from the car, you fold the deflector up by getting the upright section flat first. If you look at the two ends where the upright bit hinges, one will have a screw in the end and one won't The end without the screw can be released by pulling back the outer plastic trim which will pull back the pin holding the upper screen in the hinge. Once the upper section is flattened to the horizontal screen then both sections can be folded in half so you fit it back into the holding pack
