for me the string got messed up, either rubbed through the plastic or got out of their races, dont know how to fix it... theres not really a diagram out there on how to route them
Hi, The video starts with the roller already removed. I have removed the blind cassette from the window, but cannot see how to remove the roller from the cassette. Some instructions how to do this would really help.
@@ruxyguy so glad you said this as I nearly gave up on the 1st hurdle, I was going to yank it a bit harder also so it came away probably doing irreversible damage 🤦😃
Hi, mine is not springy but pull up and down manually. The sides of the blinds have some little tiny clip like to keep them weighed down in the channels but mine has a few of these little thingy missing. Any tricks to fix these please
@@greeneyedexplorer already did but those little clip like are apparently melted into the fabric and I’m thinking of something custom made like al snap button or similar to glue it on. But hey thanks for the response anyway🙏
If those are incorporated into the fabric, you could maybe try the trick with a drop of super glue on the fabric and put a pinch of soda-bicarbonate on it. Then just pile it a bit. It will last long... I think.
@@greeneyedexplorerthat’s the thing i only found 1 off them but 4 missing I’m gonna try building something nearly similar L shape then superglue them 😅
@@moebrahimi7957 Hi, did you manage to find any of the little guide clips for the sides of the fabric or did you make something yourself? I have the same problem and suspect other people have too but have not been able to find anything to replace them online. Thanks for any thoughts.
I have a velux remote controlled blind. I retensioned the spring but when the blind is retracting the tension will drop off every 10cm or so and the blind will lose tension. Do you have any advice on how to fix this?
Your video is now visible. There is no spring error. The problem is that black plastic parts on both sides of the fabric get stuck in the roll box at the bottom on the video. You have probably misaligned aluminum slides i.e. put too high into mentioned box... Rok
A very fiddly job once the spring is back in tension but the instructions were very useful! Good exercise for the fingers!! Many thanks :)
Thank you!
Perfect, and so easy to follow. Well done!
Thanks! Really saved the day!
You helped me a lot, thank you very much!
You are welcome!
25-30 winds to tension spring for a "long" window needed
Great, thank you!
Very helpful. How do you get the fabric back on the track if it comes loose?
Hi. If you mean when it comes loose from the rod itself, I used a fast glue - 1-second glue. Haven't had problems...
Great is there more fixes for velux blinds?
Hi. Sorry this is the only repair I needed to do.

Please show how to remove blind. Mine is jammed shut
Sadly you will have to use force. You need to get to side rail screws...

I worked it out. There are plastic tabs on the back which you can push in with a screw driver.
I am glad you have sorted it out!

Hi , how do you tighten the spring on the first blind ?
Hi, mine is not springy but pull up and down manually. The sides of the blinds have some little tiny clip like to keep them weighed down in the channels but mine has a few of these little thingy missing. Any tricks to fix these please
Sorry, don't know the type, but do try searching for parts on Thingiverse...
