In a rear-window roller blind for motor vehicles in which a rear half of a back-seat shelf, which is located between the rear window and the pull-out slot for the rear-window roller blind, is used as a support element for the roller blind. The back-seat shelf half is made either from a wood material or is a plastic molded part. Through alternative arrangements, it is ensured that the temperature expansion and contraction of the components of the roller blind and its support are accommodated.

A window shade arrangement has holding levers in order to draw the window shade material from the wind-up roller shaft and to hold it in a drawn out or extended position. The holding levers include hinged sliding elements that slide in associated guide grooves in the pull-out element or bar. To ensure stop-free, smooth operation, these sliding elements can be provided with a lubricant reservoir, can have a dumbbell shape, can have a cylindrical shape or some combination thereof.
