  • Replacing the irritating broken slat on your blind is fairly easy to do if you have the time. If saving money does not motivate you then I suggest you do it due to privacy issues. It is admittedly an eyesore looking everyday at that one broken blind/slat isn't it?

    I have used clear gorilla glue twice to repair a broken slat, while the perfectly good slats at the bottom were laughing at me. I will be doing this first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for this enlightenment!

    Thanks! 😊 I had two broken slats, and I checked like you showed. I actually have 4 extra slats on the bottom. It was a little tedious, but it's really simple, like you said. We have custom blinds and they were ridiculously expensive. The company that installed them wanted a flat fee of $100 dollars to fix them. Your video saved me! Thanks again 😊

      It's amazing how many people will just toss the old blind because of a few broken slats and spend $100 on a new blind. I learned the same lesson when my son was going through that stage... they just love to look out the window to experience the outside world 😅
      Let's just say I got pretty fast at remove the old slats and replacing them 👍
