I have an R-Pod 178, 2017 year. The rear valance and blinds screws have pulled out of the wall on one side. I can't figure out how they got the screws through the Valance to attach to the wall, I see no opening to get to the screws. Next I expect I can use plastic expansion wall pins and put the original screws back.
Thanks, Bernie |

Welcome. I'm going to move your post to the podmods section. When we removed our miniblinds the blinds unclipped, then you could get to the screws for the cornice from inside the box. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Hey Bernie, Those screws go wherever they bite. Sounds kinds strange, but it's true. What they do is shove ( I think they are like #10 sheet metal screws) within the folds of the valance and into the 1/8 inch plywood covering the foam insulation. Really, it's not rocket science. They pretty much just screw them though the folds of the valance cover into the wall. You can do the same. If you got too many holes or the screw isn't holding, I would use something like 3M 5200 or an epoxy to hold the screw. I've made a lot of holes in my pod...all above the waterline. :) fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Thank you. I only have mini blinds in the kitchen roll out but that is good to know someday. All the rest of the pull-downs are the full shade according type. |

Thank you for the quick response going to work on it today. I was thinking they might have gone through the folds or directly through the material, I have some upholstery material that can be done to. Going to relive the tension on the bottom strings till glue dries. |
