Before you spend money replacing a perfectly good pleated shade, reach for this restring kit. United Shade part 20-1532 gives you everything needed to re-cord two-cord day/night shades, four-cord day/night shades, and two-cord night shades -- all with aluminum rails -- so your existing shades work like new again.
Worn, sagging, or broken cords are the most common reason RV pleated shades stop functioning properly. The fabric and rails are often still in excellent shape. This United Shade restring kit targets the exact components that wear out -- the cords, retainers, bushings, and springs -- so you get a fully functional shade at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
One kit contains enough material to repair up to five shades measuring 36 inches x 36 inches. For larger shades or more than five windows, pick up an additional kit. The included step-by-step instructions walk you through the process, and you only need basic hand tools you likely already own.
Works with two-cord day/night shades, four-cord day/night shades, and two-cord night shades -- all common configurations in RVs and manufactured housing.
Includes five 20 ft cords -- enough to restring up to five standard 36 x 36 shades. Cords are white to blend with the shade hardware.
Kit ships with cords, cord retainers, cord bushings, and springs. No hunting for individual parts -- everything is matched and ready to install.
Step-by-step instructions are packed in every kit. Basic tools required: flat-head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and scissors.
This kit is designed for aluminum-rail pleated shades. Before you start, check the top and bottom rails of your shade. If the rails are aluminum, you can restring the shade using this kit. If the rails are plastic or the shade is a lower-cost imported unit with plastic components, restringing may not be feasible.
No specialty tools are needed. Most RV owners complete a restring in under an hour per shade once they are familiar with the process. The included instructions cover the full procedure.
