Seitz / Remis concertina blind REPLACE FLYSCREEN?

[Hughmer]

Season's Greetings everyone

The attached Pic shows my dismounted window blind assembly, from a yr 2000 Hymer

The fly screen is aged/discoloured and I would like to replace it.

The material seems finer and more flexible than the fly netting I've found in caravan shops. I spent an hour searching the forum but there's so many threads I could spend all week looking

 

Q1, does anyone know of a supplier? .... I looked at

leisureshopdirect.com/caravan-accessories/caravan-blinds/seitz-blinds

but if I got the right bit, - its NLA

 

Q2. How do you get the rollers out? The threads and YouTube videos that I've found don't cover this blind. If you look at the pictures of the corners, you can see 5 screws holding each corner to the adjacent rail or mullion. I'm not sure whether I need to disassemble the entire window to extract the rollers. I'd hope there was an easier way.

This (outdated) 2012 forum thread mentions the unavailability of spare parts for early Remis windows

As far as I’m aware there are no on-line instructions on how to dismantle these windows (Remis windows aren’t the same as Seitz ones) so you’ll probably need to do some ‘self-teaching. Your photos suggest that it might be possible to detach the vertical side sections and - if that’s the case - it might give you a better idea of how to get the roller out.

 

It would be worth asking Hambilton Engineering for advice
