How To Fix RV Blinds? – Crow Outdoors

Many of us have a love-hate relationship with our RV. We spend countless hours on the road enjoying all the sights and sounds that come from being out in nature, but when we stop at our favorite campground for a few days, it’s time to do some maintenance work. One of those tasks is fixing broken RV blinds. This post will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to fix your RV blinds so that they are like new again!

Part One – Remove Broken RV Shade: If your blinds are broken, we recommend that you remove them completely. The cords should be removed from the top and bottom rail of the shade first, followed by removing end caps on both ends before taking down the entire structure. Set it aside for now so that it’s out of sight!

Part Two – Unscrew Both Tension Cord Retainers at Bottom of Blind From Wall: Once all pieces have been set aside, it’s time to unscrew tension cord retainers from wall mounts (at least one will have a screwdriver provided in most cases). This step is imperative if you want to avoid having any accidents while installing new parts and hardware.

Part Three – Remove End Caps from Top and Bottom Rail: If you have an older RV, then the end caps on your blinds will be attached by two screws. Remove these before going any further!

Part Four – Unstring Blind Shade: Now that all tension cord retainers are removed from wall mounts as well as the old end caps, it’s time to remove the cords themselves (you should find a screwdriver included in most cases). Simply unscrew them at both ends of the rail, being careful not to let loose string loops fly everywhere! Once complete, set aside until installation is finished.

Part Five – Re-string Blind Shade: Once all tension cord retainers are removed from wall mounts as well as the old end caps, there remains only two things left that must be done before installation can commence; re-threading or replacing the cords and re-stringing the shade. For this task, it’s recommended that you use a new cord as well as a string or sewing thread to complete the process!
