Large louvre blind repar

[roadglide]

My stock 6 ft Louver blind shredded the inside cord , has any body got some suggestions on re threading the blind. Ill be in Quartzsite for Rv show soon. I'm wondering if there easy to repar or junk it?

Camping World sells a blind cord repair kit that included easy to read instructions.

I replaced my 6' blind cord with the kit and "it still works". It helps to have another set of hands with the replacement.

Good luck ..... Don

I have re-threaded several of mine. Like theallde stated extra help is a plus, especially the larger blinds. I had no intention of doing mine more than once so I purchased 300# braided fishing line from a Sporting goods store. Make sure it is the "braided" style as it is very flexible.

This video I found is very helpful....

This is wonderful information. Thanks.

There has to be a sharp edge at the top where the cord goes through shredding the cord More BS. I agree heavy beaded fishing line maybe a better cord.

This way late for replies. I'll thank Lou for calling me in Quartzsite about a vinder who repairs blinds for 50 bucks he went in the desert wilth all his tools removed the 6 ft blind and had it installed with in hour . The bonus was I recived cord and special fasinters and a class on blind repair.
