Maybe one of these days, u could make a video of showing the whole process while doing the change. I'm sure many of us would appreciate it!

Lol
You saved my day. Wife said I was not able to do it, but I said yes so I found your video and applied your tutorial. Thanks bro!
Thanks Jakub John. Great instruction. It works perfect. Bloody shame that IKEA hasn’t this instruction. 😊
Thanks, I didn't think to rewind the spring. This was very helpful
Thanks, that helped me a lot! Shame to IKEA for not making it easier or providing instructions.
Cheers Jakub. I was able to switch the sides thanks to your clear instructions 👍
Thanks for this, the washer was fineky to get back on. I used a small socket adapter, worked great.
I wish you made a video showing how to do it start to finish instead of just talking us through it. 😞
Well I thought about making the video after i had my blind already done and just didn't wanted to take it apart again.
took me a day to figure it out. You turn the spring CLOCKWISE actually whilst the blind is hanging, otherwise you'd have a hard time pushing the control in.
Do you mean that I should wind it clockwise, instead of counter clockwise like he said?
Mate, u need to setup a patreon link or something. U just saved my blinds install with this video! I’d be more than happy to send some $$& your way 👌🏻
Cheers mate. I wish I had more time to upload more videos. Maybe in the future 😁👍
Immensely helpful and useful video. Thank you so much for posting this!
great tutorial sir. thanks!
I fixed the annoying sound with spay silicone based lubricant. just spray the little white balls that are visible when the handle is fully opened.
Great vid! You saved my blinds and my day!
Awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing 😁
Thanks, this helped me because the spring was unloaded and it was difficult to operate the arm.
It would be great if you would reconsider and make a video showing how to do it! It would really help people like me who are having a hard time following your verbal instructions. Thank you. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Maybe i will do it after new year because I'm away now. The thing is i don't wanna take the same blind apart multiple times as something can brake. But I have second blind in other room, I might just go through the process to make another video.
@@johnny6969 what about just having the shade roll over instead of under and to just flip it? Would that work?
Maybe it would work 🤔 but it would be further from the window there will be a lot of light coming through the gap and also the shade nmaterial looks different on the other side. If this is what you meant.
Thanks a lot for your vedio, it's really helpful, God bless you 😇🙏
1:32 for those not sure what metal something they should use. i used the side of a hammer to push the pin down, then the back of the hammer to pull the pin out like removing a nail.
Works like a charm, thanks for this video! I thought you could just swap them around, but nooo sir! :D
Thank you, really helped
Could I use the same instructions to maintain the same side for the handle but unroll it by the front side of the roll instead of meat the window?
Thanks man 👍
wow. gr8 detailed video .. i never understood why its so difficult to switch rod right to left never had idea of spring load.
i had it wrong way last 2 years on left side as when I pull rod blind goes up..basically reversed.
Update - Most difficult part of above was to remove big Washer with groves. I literrally had to bend it with pliers to pull it out.
While putting it back had to use screwdriver to make washer groves stick upwards before instering on pin & use pliers to pushit down when its on the Pin.
Please can you do a video showing the whole process, this would help. Thanks
I just unrolled the blind and pulled the fabric off the double sided tape and flipped the pole around and rolled it back up. It restuck to the tape with no problems. No tools needed...
Well if it works then its another way to do it 🙂
Thanks!!
Thanks for the vid. Nice and simple to do. Took it all apart with just a fork. Only thing i cant figure out is what is the point in loading the spring? When tou pull the blind down it loads itself. It comes unloaded when new. Unless you feel it needs a quicker return to it but that doesnt have anything to do with changing the handle to the left side. Maybe im missing something. Either way, thanks for the clip, saved me some time messing about to see if its possible or not.
When i didn't load the spring the other way my blind was closing itself on its own weight.
Mogłeś nagrać w naszym języku no ale po coś sie angielskiego uczyłem. Dzięki za poradnik naprawdę sie przydał :)
I messed up and the spring uncoiled how do i rewind it, is it doable? 😢
Thats no problem. Just rewind it in the correct way as I showed on the video. Just need to be careful and gentle with it as when you press the tab when not needed it will unwind again.
how to take the washer off on the wand?
Use 2 flathead screwdrivers and prey on both sides at the same time. Little by little and it will come of.
can you resize the width? thanks
I think it is possible to reduce width. There may be instructions on ikea manuals. Check it online on their website.
There is another video that shows an alternative method. I haven't tried it myself and it looks a bit fiddly but it just involves reversing the handle. m.ruclips.net/video/kmm_tujmzAw/видео.html&pp=ygUcZnJpZGFucyBibGluZCBpa2VhIGxlZnQgc2lkZQ%3D%3D
And how to repair it ? Mine is broken 🥹
I don't know, maybe ikea sells spare parts.
Thanks!
