Luggage Roller Blind

[200h]

at last i have fixed my luggage blind i managed to cut the blind a while ago but today i bought some material to replace the whole pull out blind.

its an easy job to do so dont be afraid about losing the recoil tension its easy to redo.

to strip it down you only have to undo 3 screws on the drivers side of the blind,2 hold the spring loaded end cap on and the 3rd one holds the end cap with a star shape in the middle of it,when the cap with the star is remove the tension will go.

the blind material is only held on with double sided tape so its easy to remove

at the end of the alluminium roller with the star there is a hole i tapped this with an m6 thread about 8mm deep then fitted a allen head bolt

once the new blind material has been fixed in place re-fit the roller locating the spigot in the hole

put the end cap with the star in it on loosely then using an allen key rotate the bolt clockwise to tension the spring every now and then replace the end cap and check the tension

once happy replace all screws

and it only cost me £14 for the material and i bought double in case i needed it,thread and a snicker bar

so worth the time and money spent on it
