This must be my lucky year: in the past few months I have had to replace cords in three of our shades in our '05 RB. I daresay I'm getting pretty good at it. Good instructions (http://www.wxtoad.com/index.php/lazy-daze/restringing-shades) help. ;)
Ted, this is great! Thx so much for such a thorough explanation of the process. ;D

Such a good reason to dump the pleated shades, in favor of conventional roll-up shades.
I hate those darn strings. They always break where there isn't a BIG table available for miles.

Thanks anyway, in the past, I have used your restringing instructions, more than once, to refresh my memory.

While traveling out west 2 years ago I had the first string break on the shades in my 2010 RB and I made an appointment with MCD to replace all the shades on the return trip home to Florida. I had all the window shades replaced (except for the cab-over). I included the black screen shades on all but the door and kitchen windows. That was a good decision as I can't believe how much I use the screens for additional privacy in bright sunlight and additional darkening. All the shades have worked flawlessly for two years. MCD had a local carpenter make & install wooden glides (finished to match the interior) attached to the side walls of the rear sloping window to keep both shades close to the window.

I've thought about other shades, but the cheap Yankee in my blood wins out. An hour's time and 50 cents of cord fixes 'em.
