Have owned a couple of RPods and the pull down window blinds are all the same. The one over the dinette in our 195 has “lost its tension” and won’t stay up. Anyone ever repaired one of these?

Thanks in advance

I found that after about 4 years the blinds in our 179 had fraying cords so I had to replace the cording in the blinds before they broke. I found that this youtube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jnjtfuoIE8 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jnjtfuoIE8 ) really helped me a lot understanding how the blinds work and stayed taut. It might assist you in fixing your problem.

When I replaced my cords I found that the blind still didn't hold.....then I tightened up to cord on the keeper and it worked fine. You may try tightening up the cord if it isn't fraid.

There is a kit you can buy. It shows how to restring the blind with 4 strings. The YouTube shows a 2 string blind but has good pointers. By all means watch it first we did the blind over our dinette.
