OP here
Only a single pleated shade. Not 2 part day/night.
No cord to pull, cords mounted to wall on each side and it raises similar to how a cordless shade does - by just lifting.
Anyway, after much endless fussing and plenty of cussing, I got it to go 90% of the way up smoothly.
Holy smokes what a total PITA!
Yeah, I was this close to ripping it off the wall and tossing it in the garbage, but there are five other matching shades and I didnt want an oddball one.
It seems to be that both cords on either side have to have exactly the same amount of tension, and you can only adjust them when the shade is completely lowered. You have do a little adjustment at a time, one at a time.
Hope that help anyone who has the same problem.
