Day/Night Window Shade Questions

[Patriot]

 

My apologies on my incorrect post above on cost of replacing the interior blind with a brandy new blind.

I just got off the phone with Mike Sharpe at Oliver Service and he quoted me for one brandy new blind the cost is $393.00. This includes shipping to your door. (Shipping could vary a little) I mistakenly quoted pricing for 2 blinds in my previous post which was incorrect. 

If you want a completely new blind, you must order and pay through Oliver Service. Oliver places the order with the company who actually has to make the blind. They don’t stock them on the shelf.

Once made, it’s packed up and shipped to your address. 

Cheers!

Can I ask those of you that have done this — how did you access and tie the new cord to the spring inside the channel?  Seems very difficult to thread the cord and tie a good knot when it’s tucked in there and under tension from both sides via separate cords.  Am I missing something?  Just trying to plan before I have it apart in 9 pieces.  Thanks!

Doing the final string tie is the only tricky part.  I looped the string through the end of the spring and pulled it out enough I to tied my know (a couple of half hitches).  Before you start, note the tension in the spring and try to match it with the new string.  If it’s too loose the shade won’t hold its position, if it’s too tight it will be hard to adjust.  I had to adjust both of the ones I did.  One was too tight and one too loose.
