2021 Adria Compact cab roof blind; repair advice please! (1 Viewer)

[mike_babb]

We're away in the van in Wales and I opened the front roof blind this morning and it didn't go to plan! I guess one of the strings has snapped but has anyone got any tips on repairing?

I think I'll need to remove the whole unit but it looks like the storage units were put in after the blind. So they may need to come out. Looks like a big job!

Just a guess on my part but you would think the blind unit as screwed through the sides.
Thus the biggest job might be trying to, somehow, move the actual blind back to access the fixing points.

Thanks Bramidan. I've managed to get the blind straightened out and retracted, so at least it doesn't look a mess. Looking at it again, I was wondering whether you are supposed to slide the blind off the rails by removing the stops at the end of the rails, but to get to the stops you may need to take bits of the cupboards apart, and how you release the blind from the window end I have no idea.

Once again I’m reaching but surely the manufacturers wouldn’t fit the blind before the cupboards?
You can but hope!!!

Sorry I can’t help but please keep this thread updated as we have the same blind on our Adria Compact. Good luck with the repair. Hopefully it won’t be as difficult as it looks.

Just a quick update on this. I reached out to Al at Signature Motorhomes about this and the advice was they usually get them replaced under warranty, but if you have to pay they are very expensive.

He suggested I removed it and tried to fix it myself, but to get it out you have to remove the top storage cupboards. I'm away in the van at the moment so will wait until I get home before I start pulling things apart. If anyone has any experience of dismantling these cupboards in a Compact, please let me know.
