I notice you also asked about this earlier:

I’m doubtful that your blind is a REMIS product as all the REMIS front-windscreen blinds I’ve seen (including the REMIfront blinds fitted to my 2005 Hobby motorhome and current Rapido) have comprised two sections of concertina material, with each section sliding from a screen-pillar to the centre on upper and lower thick metal rods. As far as I’m aware no REMIS front-windscreen blind has had (or needed) ‘strings’.

Dometic(Seitz) also make cab blinds. As I’m not familiar with them, these may have strings. Examples of Dometic ‘blackout’ system and windscreen roller-blind are shown here

Yes Thanks Bill. I found that on google. We are going to take the blind of the van (don't keep at home) and then see , maybe it has just come out of a groove ,

 

Thanks for reply, I am surprised that no-one else has had a problem

The “cab blind closure” repair kit relates to the latest type of REMIS blind system as fitted to my 2015 Rapido.

I see that I mentioned that the REMIS pleated windscreen-blind for Ducatos manufactured before mid-2006 (when the X250 range was introduced) was one-piece. There’s a photo of that type of concertina blind here

and I’m guessing that this is what you have and (based on the photo) that it has ‘guide strings’ like those used on REMIS pleated blinds for motorhome/caravan habitation-area windows.

 

As the original REMIfront cab-blind system was far from cheap (and probably not offered as a factory-option in those days) it’s likely that few REMIfront 1 blinds were fitted to UK motorhomes, so the chances of an Out&AboutLive forum member being familiar with the system and/or being able to advise on ‘re-stringing’ the front blind will be pretty small.

Thanks Derek Yes it is the one piece .Was fitted by Swift as Standard .

As i said we will take it off, and then we can see what needs doing. The actual fabric is fine, and we are always careful when lifting it. i think maybe the string has deteriorated in 10 years of use/sun.We have had several people ask us, when at sites, about our blind , so i guess not so common after all. Will let you know how we get on when we hopefully fix it, as don't wan t to pay £300 + for a new one. Our van one of the first of this model, at the change from 2005 to 2006

I did find your earlier post by googling
