The blind on our habitation door window has fell to bits

I can’t work out how to repair it or can I just buy a new one?

Any ideas, what I can’t work out is that the metal rod isn’t long enough to fit through the width?

I think, having just retensioned a roller blind:

The rod doesn't need to go full width because it is a coil spring for tension. The white plastic might just be a guide to keep it all in place.

Find out which part needs to be fixed when you twist the flat to get spring tension.

Grip each part and turn the flat to identify.

If your'e lucky it might be the red bit that locks the spring onto the tube .. easy fix then (glue the red onto the tube ..or small self tapper)

But looking at how the rod needs to go way through, I think that the flat end spring tensioner; somehow fixes onto the furthermost end of the spring.

Hope this helps

Could it be that there is bit snapped off the white plastic end, that when complete it forms a boss that extends the metal rod into the side rail of the blind.
