Seitz Roller Binds

[Countryboy33]

I have a 2004 Auto Sleeper Duetto which is fitted with Seitz Roller Blinds. I am trying to tension the

fly screen. I have removed the whole blind assembly from the wall but cannot work out how to tension the fly screen. The instructions say that some blinds have special tensioning lugs at one end and other the end of the cassette is used for tension. I cannot see any lugs so what do I do ? Any advice would be appreciated.

There is also a fair amount of on-line discussion about blind retensioning - see results of following GOOGLE-search

Thanks Derek for the prompt posting. I have taken the blind apart but the spring will not tension

so I think that the spring may be u/s. Thanks for your frequent postings on this forum.

You may be able to obtain a replacement spring from here

I was reluctant to take off the window to access the blind mechanism as I believe it would leave the window un supported in the frame. Having just relaid the rooflight I did not fancy messing around with mastic if it moved or loosened.........so leave well alone.

 

Anyway, too late for you, but for anyone else coming across this post I put a little squirt of WD40 in the corner and the blind sprung to life and movement.I really thought it was jammed tight.......... so an easy win.
