Help me find this part

This is a photo of the mounting bracket for the pull down shades in my RV. The plastic part is broken and I need to replace but have thus far been unlucky searching online. Can anyone help?

  • I have repaired hundreds of RV shades over the years and have never seen such a bracket. You will have to probably go to Thor. With the shade down, there is usually a maker and model on a tag on the shade. Some shades even have the phone number on them. If you can get the maker, you should be able to find them on the Internet. Doug

    Awhile ago I needed a catch for an RV shower door and the nice people at MakariosRV took the time to help me. They didn't sell me the part but put me in touch with the manufacturer. MFG didn't have a website at the time so Makarios gave me a name and phone number. I called MFG and they sent me the part free.
    You coach is so new that Jayco could probably hook you up too.
  • The actual shade braket is mounted (riveted) to an angle bracket and painted. Your shade should have manufacturer logo on it somewhere. (It looks like a common pleated shade bracket, however each brand/model has it's own bracket)

    Look up manufacturer online and give them a call, telling them that you need a ceiling mount bracket for their model xxxxx shade.
    When it arrives, remove/drill out rivet and fasten new shade bracket to angle using as rivet as they did, or a small nut & bolt.
    (Or you can tell me the make & model of your shade and I will get the info for you...)
