Roller blind won't stay down February 16, 2015, 03:45:42 pm Yahoo Message Number: 151175Hey all, The innermost roller blind, the screen one, on our side back window will not stay down. Is there a way to take it down and fix it without taking apart the valence? We live about 500 miles from the Mothership, so it's a long way to go if we can do this ourselves.Thanks, Syndi2014 24' TK Super Flea

Both shades are in one assembly that must be removed to access the two adjustment screws for each shade. The adjustment screws are located on the side of each shade. http://www.mcdinnovations.com/files/MCD-AmDuo-OM-r5-3-website.pdfThe shade assembly snaps onto three or four spring steel clips, which are screwed in the the ceiling or undercabinet. Rocking the shade assembly forward or backward should pop it it out of the clip, is there is enough room for the maneuver. I found it easier to remove the valance when installing our MCDs.Larry

The link might help you as well. We just installed Auto Motion Shades and the only way to adjust the screen shade is to remove the valence. If LD installed the shades like we did, then it is a simple task. Our bedroom shades are attached to the top of the valance and not the wall or ceiling. To remove the valance there are 4 brackets on top of the valance. Remove the screws from the brackets and tilt the valance toward you if the sides of the valance are screwed in. This will expose the control for the screen shade-provided that is how Irvine shades are adjusted. They look just like Auto Motion Shades. Keep in mind, we have a 31' twin bed so our valance might be different that your model of motorhome.From: lifewithalazydazerv@yahoogroups.com [mailto:lifewithalazydazerv@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2015 1:46 PM To: Lifewithalazydaze Subject: [LD] Roller blind won't stay downHey all,The innermost roller blind, the screen one, on our side back window will not stay down.
