Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I have the same blind with a broken cord and can now repair it.

Excellent tutorial Chris. I watched a few others before I found yours but this one is by far the best one to follow. I used 1mm blind cord from Amazon.

The problem with my blind is actually nothing like this, but seeing how to take it apart (and put it together again) has helped me enormously. Great video and, actually, not boring.

thinks chris, tacckled this with your instruction, now have a repaired blind for the price of some string 😀

Brilliant video. It took me a few replays on some aspects, but I've replaced our broken cord. Thank you very much for that informative and clear as crystal lesson.

Glad it's helped

Well done. This video saved me a fair bit of time changing broken cord on my identical blind. I used 4 metres of 1.2mm nylon blind cord as fitted to original. I did the final tensioning simply by raising blind to highest point then pulling each cord tight before tightening grub screws.

[@BusyElf]

Yes I should have raised the blind to the top before applying tension.

What a great video, we followed your instructions and successfully repaire our blind. FOr us it was the string on the mosquito net so just follwed the same insructions and it worked brilliantly. Thank you

[@BusyElf]

Glad it helped!

[@BusyElf]

Glad it helped

Thanks for the commewnts on this video and glad it helped some of you guys. I hadn't seen one on this particualr problem so thought it would be of interest to some Swift owners with similar problems.

Great video, thank you! I need to repair some of my blinds. Please can I ask what size string did you use?

[@BusyElf]

it was some I ordered from Amazon. a specialist blind company offer a good range of sizes. online. Get the closest to original size is my advice.

[@Caravanvoyage]

Hi What size string did you use and where did you get it from

[@michaelhorn5633]

i would like to know the same

[@peboshare1869]

1mm blind cord. Amazon.

It’s a pity that your hands were in the way of the components you were dismantling. Perhaps you should have worked on the blind on a kitchen table and had someone hold the camera whilst you pointed out the components you were dismantling. Just an honest comment.
