Snapped cord

[Lizzy]

Our Swift Accord 2021 panoramic blind has snapped. It’s going to cost £400 + to sort it out as we’ve been told that the whole unit has to be replaced.
I saw a thread from 2012 where “ bristle” used a cork jammed into the channel to keep the blind up. Will the cork keep the blind closed at night too?
Any other remedies as very reluctant to pay over £400 to fix a snapped cord!

If the cork “fix” worked in daytime it should be okay at night. It must be worth just giving it a try.

It should be an easy fix, I did mine on an Elddis.

I repaired a Remibase side window blind, and it's not difficult if you can remove the blind unit. Here's the link I posted

Thanks, yes, we will give it a try.
