The left (driver's side) rod on the rear window shade is bent. Although slight, and difficult to see in the pictures, it prevents the shade from fully retracting. It abuts the bottom frame while being lowered, which stops it at that point.
I understand it is pot metal, which could be fragile. I am hesitant to try to hammer it for fear of breaking it. Does anyone know how I can safely straighten it out? I doubt if I could find a replacement, which would be ideal.

Anybody know of someone in the San Diego, or even SoCal area, area who might have knowledge or experience with this problem?
