How to Restring Day / Night Shades


Excellent step by step guide with pictures: How to Restring a RV Day/Night Shade


Some notes from Foretravel owners

There are 3 Robertson screws holding the blinds in place. Look up to under valance and you will see. Undo them and it will come down. The restringing is actually quite simple to do but make sure you have the right size cord for it. We have had to restring many of our shades. Did them all ourselves on our bed.

Our last order from United Shades included:

  1. 1.4mm cord white #005
  2. Fawn C channel endcaps
  3. 1“ Endcaps Alabaster

A trick that I used successfully was to weld the new string to the old string by burning one string, blowing out the flame, and quickly fusing the new string to the old, end-to-end. It took a few tries to get a good weld, but worked very well for pulling the new string through the same route as the old string.
