Olaf,
The sun shade consits of two parts: the knurled grip ring on the near
end will unscrew from the main body of the shade.

Putting a rubber ring (or a piece of flat rubber, like part of an

ring to be unscrewed, to distribute pressure evenly about this ring
(and not pressing on other surfaces!).
For this purpose you can put another metal or plastic ring of the same
size as the one to be unscrewed on top of the rubber, serving as an
instrument by which you can try to unscrew....
This is as far as I have ever gone myself....
