i keep a roll of much heavier than OEM string, grommets, shade threader on board and have done all but one. Make sure you install the grommets in the CORRECT direction, not necessarily the way they came out. That's the prime cause of failure: the factory screwed up

X2!
Once I found these kits life was sooo much simpler with those shades AND a whole lot cheaper than paying to have them repaired while on the road!!:C

I ordered enough Cord from the Manufacturer to restring All My Windows! The Older Ones do not use Grommets ,they have Open Rivets which are subject to rusting!

I drilled them Out on One shade, PITA , and inserted the grommets !

On the second I just cleaned the small amount of rust and wiped the Rivets with silicone!

I have only done two so far ..Easy Repair ! I will get to the others when they break!

The replacement Cord is thinner than the original.

so what do you suggest when your dog gets into the shade and ruins it. I have the small one by the door and the price of a new shade is almost out of the question.

What I referred to as grommets look like "open" rivets as it were, and the mfgr. Installed them upside down. I bought all mine from Fixmyblinds.com

Any size string and color u need

Old Guy ......Your Dog is a........well You know what ,just measure the width and pick up a Venetian Bind at Home Depot ! They cut them to the size That Zyou specify!
