Hello all, I just got back to Texas from picking up our new 180 from Couchs in Ohio. At some point in the trip, the string that anchors the bottom of the dinette window shade came loose and has disappeared into the bottom of the shade. Does anyone know how to fix this? Before anyone says I should have bought local, This was the only new 180 we could find when we searched nation wide. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Joel

We had an issue where a string broke in one of our blinds at home, sounds similar where the string is inside the pleated part of the shade. What I did was to pull the string all the way out from the opposite end, then push the shade together making it as short as possible - top to bottom. Take small wire, the kind you can get at a hardware store in a coil and straighten it out. Run it through the whole shade top to bottom and have a small loop at one end of the wire. Take your string and attach it to the loop and pull it through, good to go.
