hawk Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Does anyone know how to take the blinds out from under the valence. I can't see any obvious pins or latches that will release the blind. I went to Aggie's posted pdf. file and couldn't see what needed to be released. By the way, thanks for that link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAatTheCape Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I started to take mine down once & ran into the same thing you have. Mine has what may be a catch on each side that pop off & allows the blinds to fall straight down but I did not try it because I did not want to break it. The only problem with my blinds is that they are very difficult to rotate the slats. I got mine to where I can flip the blinds over at the bottom & give me privacy & left it at that. The only other way I see to remove them would require removing the decorative valance & as hesitant to do that. I wanted to lube the gears.

hawk Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 DanAatthe cape. Thanks for the input. I'm stymied, too. Since I live in a rural area with no real RV services available, I'm really stuck with the internet to solve problems. After a couple of trips in the Toy, I'm thinking this isn't the vehicle for me, but I don't want to put it up for sale without fixing things like the broken blinds. Your suggestion of taking the valence off may be the only way to go at this point. Anyway, thanks for your experience .Hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontereyDave Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) If your blinds are the same style/design as my '88, each end has a plastic square about 1" by 1" that serves as a sliding latch. You can slide it completely loose, remove it, and then the blinds easily come out of their bracket.

hawk Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 MontereyDave, thanks very much for going to the trouble of the pictures. They really help. Mine is a bit different, but I think I can generalize from your pictures and find the parts that do slide one way or another. This forum and its members are a god-send for the newly challenged of us.

MontereyDave Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It makes me feel good to help in any little way possible because I too am benefiting from other peoples' expertise on this website. ~Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
