Remis blind chord replacement

The first time we had to replace the chord on the Remis blind fly net on our Pilote P740c and it was an eye opener. In the end though it wasn't too tricky. You just have to be methodical and it all comes together.

Greetings from Down Under. These blinds are a brain bender. Thanks for taking the time to video your repair, much appreciated. Cheers

[@TheMotoroamers]

No worries. Glad it helped.

Thanks very much for sharing this. The white part of my blind had broke. Watching this video helped to understand how the thing works so I could then fix it with some new cord. Thanks Again!

[@warrenlancaster286]

Just watched your video which was most helpful thank you for taking the time to make it . All the best from NewZealand

[@TicketyBoo.]

Many thanks for the vid. Thinking of replacing all my blinds with these so good to see how they're constructed.

[@barnaclewilliam5272]

We watched your excellent video and repaired our identical broken blind, Thank you for your vid, it really helped. BTW not Remis, it's Horrex Duo Plisse brand.

Just did mine, your video was a great help many thanks

Just replaced one of mine this morning using 1.5mm cord, it is easy once you have done it. Many thanks for the vid :-) Mine was caused by the net and blind cord being wrapped around each other and thus fraying over 2 years !

Where u get 1.5mm string from

The Bailey blinds are very similar and this video was a great help.

Happy days. Glad it helped.

[@erwintorres8587]

Very Helpful. . thank you for doing this. . now going to try it before calling to replace the whole thing and save a lot of $$$$

[@TheMotoroamers]

I didn't expect it to be so popular. Lol.

[@barbaraliberati785]

super top useful video. many thanks

[@TheMotoroamers]

I never thought it would be so useful. Lol. Glad it helped.

[@Elites-asthetic]

Great video buddy you made it look easy lol … I have a dometic panoramic skylight I need to fix the fly screen on which I’m hoping it’s the same process One thing I’ve noticed looks different to yours is I have plastic strips that slide out on those bars the fly net slides in to either end I no you say look at the old strings but in my case I bought the van like this 😂 so nothing to follow Trying to find someone to replace or repair in Yorkshire is hard bloody work too So trying it myself . I may have to drill holes in those strips I mentioned that keep the fly mesh locked in the runner bar

[@TheMotoroamers]

It was a bit head scratchy to begin with. Lol. Good luck. Don't forget to subscribe. Loads of D.I.Y videos and plenty of adventure videos to watch.

Macgyver is lost on him. loved it and what a great fix.

[@TheMotoroamers]

No idea who Macgyver is John lol, but I fixed it.. YAY. Thought it was going in the bin. A bit fiddly but nice and simple in the end.

[@gloriaanne6909]

Great video. Feared having to buy a new one. Ours is the door, but I'm presuming its the same principle just a bit bigger. Thanks guys :)

[@TheMotoroamers]

Hi Gloria, yes it's the same principle just different, LOL. There isn't 1 string it's 3 seperate ones. 1 for the bottom third, 1 for the middle third and 1 for the top third. If you follow the same principle for the bit that's broken you can leave the other 2 strings in place. Loadsa patience, loadsa pictures as you go and as long as you don;t have pesky morroccan salesmen wanting to sell you everything possible whilst you're concentrating you'll be OK. Let me know how you get on. Myles

[@gloriaanne6909]

Thanks. Another Covid project and thankfully not too many Moroccan salesmen in Northumberland at this time of year 😊😊

[@TheMotoroamers]

[@AlexusSteel]

You are a legend sir!

[@TheMotoroamers]

Why thank you. I had to follow my own video the other week. I got there in the end LOL.

[@colinjones7916]

thank you very much you help me a lot

[@chrisford2906]

On our Remis blind the chord is through the blind rather than the fly-screen, but the principles re the same. Thanks.

[@mylesdavies1931]

Yes. The door is a little bit trickier because the chord is in 3 bits. I've cocked it up the first time but I have another chance coming up.

[@TheMotoroamers]

@chrisford2906 no worries. Glad it helped

[@nicksmith437]

Great fix. We're in outback Oz and will fix 1st opportunity 👍👍

[@mylesdavies1931]

Where do you get 1mm waxed chord from in outback oz? Lol.

[@vidarprestegarden3603]

Thanks. really great video.

[@corconx]

Myles our door needs doing. Any chance you fancy a trip to Cornwall. Got space for you and Karen? Carol

[@TheMotoroamers]

Ah, I tried our door. Granted I had moroccan salesman trying to sell me everything under the sun at the time but cocked it up completely. LOL. Bought a new one.

[@BusyElf]

Same thing happened to me but on the white 'blind' part. I watched your video but got a little confused on how the cord went. After investigating my own blind the fog lifted and it all became clear. I even video'd it. and you can see it at kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-UYn15od2Xd5Y. Tensioning was the trickiest part though, as you will see.

[@TheMotoroamers]

Hi Chris, your link goes to an Alaska 8 day trip. LOL.
