Window shade part November 08, 2016, 11:20:09 am One of the small plastic spool things that maintain tension for the blind cord is damaged. Does anyone know what that is called and possibly a source other than the factory?Jim
Re: Window shade part Reply #1 – November 08, 2016, 11:30:09 am This answers my question. I took a look at the Lazy Daze Companion and found a write up on window blinds. In the post Ted H. provided the name of the business where I assume the blinds are made. I called them and they send them out for free.Here is the link should anyone else need it.Irvine Shade and DoorJim 2 Likes

Re: Window shade part Reply #5 – November 20, 2016, 07:00:51 am The gizmo that holds the shade up also frays the cord which will eventually break. Our gizmo broke last year. I put a cleat on the cornice that allows figure eights around it to hold the shade up. Simple and cheap and less cursing.
