[geoff_5040010]

hi out there, window blind lopsided. tried to retention it but there looks like a piece of thin plastic line at one end. what is it? can i repair it? do i have to replace the blind? any help would be welcome. geoff

Well, lets put it this way - I pulled it and wished I hadn't, it unravelled to quite a length and wouldn't go back so I took the scissors to it. The blind still went up and down though but it must serve some purpose surely?

I remember now, I don't think it retracted quite so well after the haircut...

the thin plastic line holds the blind into the roller

not a bad little job to refit once off and laid on a table

just dab a little superglue on end to retian when finished.
