How to Restring an RV Day / Night Shade

[@Anthonyshopguy1]

As a Shop teacher I had to demonstrate how to do things many times. Your exact description of how to do it just put a smile on my face. Work a tad bit more on your animation but I give you an A-Plus in every other way. Great video. And I will be doing business with you.

This was SO helpful; thank you!!! I especially appreciate that you went slowly, showing each detail of every step as you explained what was being done. I'm going to give it a try.

On My Blinds the rectangular plastic end caps seem to be non-removable. I actually broke one, trying to remove it! Thanks in advance for any help. Terry

Thanks for producing this video. You did a first class job.

First time it's a lot but, do it once and your now a professional. Great video. Had to drill out handle knob between night and day shade as to slide out day shade to crisscross strings on 4 string install.

Fantastic instructional video! Thank you so very much!!

[@miked602]

Very well done.

Thanks for the great video. I have a wide, 61" day/night RV shade that I will be trying to re-string. I had the new string but no re-stringing tool, so I called them and they said the re-stringing tool is 24 gauge wire and 18 inches long before folding it. Thanks.

Thomas - It was nice to speak to you on the phone. I think that your restringing project will go just fine! Let us know if you have any other questions.

[@thomaslewis9777]

I did try Lowe's and Ace Hardware for the 24 gauge coated wire, but their sizes stopped at 18 gauge. Lowe's did have a packaged roll of 250 foot metal (not coated) 24 gauge, but I just needed 18 inches and I prefer coated wire. Do you have sources as to what stores have the 24 gauge wire? Thanks.

[@fixmyblinds]

Yes; try a craft store and buy floral wire. That is what we use.

Superb video 👍🇬🇧

Nice explanation in the video and the sketch. I have a large day/night blind in my motorhome with 4 springs and 6 strings. The springs are located two in each end of the upper rail and two in the middle. I would like to know how is the diagram for restring this blind. Any body knows? Thanks

[@fixmyblinds]

[@americaneagle9720]

Do you know how to do a 3 string shade? I don't know what to do with the middle string. I brought it to one side but that didn't work

[@fixmyblinds]

We have diagrams showing how to restring 3-string shades on this webpage: www.fixmyblinds.com/guides/how-to-restring-a-rv-day-night-shade/. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

[@DevilTravels]

It would be nice if there was a diagram for the knot on the spring

[@fixmyblinds]

Hi There - You can use a double knot to tie the string to the spring. Here's a diagram in this link. www.netknots.com/rope_knots/double-overhand-stopper-knot
