6 string day/night shade repair

I am restringing my day/night shade. It has 6 strings where most instructions only go up to 4. I have the ran the strings through night and day portions. All went well because I drew a diagram as I disassembled. However I'm stuck on what to do before I replace bottom channel. When I took it apart it appeared that the two middle strings were tied together and maybe some from the side. I think this was where my problem was all along. Probably didn't need new strings. Anyway, has anyone done a 6 string shade?

    Yes, I've redone mine but I'm not sure what your question is. If you want a diagram, I can give that to you.

    I have the strings threaded properly and coming out the bottom. But when I took mine apart some of the strings were tied together at this point. I'm not sure which strings to tie into tensioner below shade on each side or if the two middle ones and more? should be knotted together to set in the channel. And if so, how do I gauge length?

    I fixed mine by taking them down and throwing them away. They were breaking faster than I wanted to fix them. Then going to a home improvement store and buying Bali blinds and installing them. We bought the heaviest material they had for the blinds for the insulation factor and they do a good job.
