If you happen to be in the Phoenix area there is a gentleman who comes to your coach, removes the blind, takes them to his shop, restrings them, returns and re-installs them. Very reasonable

I've restrung all but one of my blinds. Not really difficult except you need the space. I did mine by laying the blind on the bed but space is still tight.. As mentioned go online and study what they do. I used tape labels to keep the parts identified for reassembly and sketched the string pattern when taking the blind apart.

The really hard part for me is getting them down and putting them back up. I really struggle getting them in and out of the brackets. Once down, I now loosen the brackets very slightly and find the blinds easier to re-install. Be careful though, too loose and the blind will fall down. I also use clamps to keep the blind from falling while removing and re-installing.

Restringing the blind cords is not "rocket science", but if you don't pay attention to disassembly, things can go South quickly. The hardest part was removing and reinstalling the binds like others have said. We contacted the vendor that made the blinds and they sent out new cords, based on the size, for the blinds along with instructions (including illustrations for restringing) for free. Can't beat customer service like that.

We have done most of our blinds on our '03 Intrigue over the past 15 years. DW found Google link to both videos and printed instructions. It takes about 2 hours to remove, restring, and install. Not my favorite thing, but doable. Safe travels.

Sorry for the delay in getting name and phone number for blind repair in Phoenix area. I was sure I had the info in my old paper work. I have spent the last couple of day going through everything and came up empty. I sold the coach in 2015 and had the repair done in 2011 or 2012. My DW also when through some things she had with no luck.

Sorry I can't help at this time. Don't know where else to look.

We are replacing ours as they break with roll down MCD Shades which aren't too expensive and easy to install.
