Cloth day/night shades

[ff1]

We have a Sunnybrook 2006 Titan 5th wheel. Last night the cord on the right side of the day/night shade snapped. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you......

You will have to restring it with a new cord. I have seen a post on doing that somewhere but not sure where. Good luck to ya.

I've had the same problem on two of my shades. I checked out how to re-string the shade and decided to have it done. I sent mine to Mike Thompson’s RV
in California. They're at 13940 E. Firestone Blvd, Santa Fe Springs, California, 90670, 1-888-325-1378. I talked to the service manager and the two times I've had it done they came out very nice.
Good Luck.

I always have a local blind repair expert do mine. You have to look in each town if you are traveling until you find someone that can do them. I have had 6 or 7 blinds repaired in 14 years. Only one of them was done with a crappy cord that broke again within a years use. That was a blind repair in El Cajon, CA. Some of the other RV forums have links to day/night do-it-yourself shade repair, but it looks hard to do correctly.

Thank you so much for all your replies. We printed the instructions and will try to do it ourselves.
