A testament to the fulfilling feeling of fixing things yourself. Dude has a boat and lives by the water. Amazon 10 bucks for 20 of these clips but did it himself instead. Love it

What a great idea! I have the same problem with my vertical blinds. My husband (he has passed) was always figuring out how to repair and improvise -ways to repair things. I will have to show this video to my handyman. Thank you sir.

That looks like a LouverDrape Forte set of blinds. Great inventiveness! I haven't found these clips for sale. Even if you do find them, inserting them into the carrier involves getting the particular carrier out of the headrail. So your method is actually faster than doing that.

I have the same type of carrier stem clips and one broke like yours. I can't find a replacement for the life of me so I will use your method. Thank you for the video!

Good job sir! I have a similar problem. Same age home too 1989. I’m sure the vertical blinds are original as well. My carrier clip broke just one of the little hook tabs so not completely off like yours. I think I’ll try a white paper clip though lol. There’s tons of videos showing the C clip style repair but not this style. Thanks for video.

I'm sorry but re-engineering (hacking) the blind is not repairing it. How do you remove the old, broken clip and install a replacement clip???
@everscout8490 Жыл бұрын
Sorry it wasn’t the fix you were looking for. These blinds are 30+ years old and I had no luck finding exact fit replacement clips. This was the best repair I could manage. With this vintage model the clip is possible to replace if you can find the part but it requires removing all 62 slats, dismounting the head rail, removing the carriers from the end of the extrusion, removing / replacing the clips from the top of the cars and reversing the operation. So a few hours of work vs less than 10 mins to improvise. 3 years on and still working like a charm. Wont meet everyone’s definition of being repaired but it worked for me. Hopefully someone else out there has a video up that shows clip replacement.
