    I can't thank you enough! We love in Florida, where there are vertical blinds everywhere you look and I was just about to go out and spend 1000 dollars per sliding door to replace ours because a few were broken! Thank you so much!

    Hi All, I do a lot of repair work pretty much in anything possible. I like the video and the quick fix. I have 2 suggestions.
    1 To make it look better, you may simply paint the Vain Saver.
    2 Just upside down the blind and cut a hole in rectangle shape.
    Hope this helps

  • @glorioskey
    @glorioskey 10 лет назад +13

    I think theyre better price online and u may as well by a bunch it seems that with age and sun they get brittle and break easier. I went to Lowe's and asked for 'vane savers' and was told they don't have them, but she said they have a repair kit and was basically told that name doesnt exist. she showed me where the kits were and right next to it were the 'vane savers' with the term right on there. so that is what they are called. people like that are so annoying.

    THANK YOU!! This was VERY helpful! Now I can remove the duct tape my husband used and still didn't work. Thanks again! :-) One more question: What if the prong is broken? I have a couple broken ones so even using these vane savers wouldn't help. Do I need to replace the entire thing?

    These work great. But, if your vane holes are cracking, the rest of the vanes will soon follow. But new ones.

  • @desertjedi
    @desertjedi 15 лет назад

    Good stuff to know but it doesn't address my problem. I have 3 sets of vertical blinds all with multiple occurrences of the same problem. The small clips (carriers/holders) get stripped and the vanes then do not close/open. Wish me luck in researching this problem - so far I've come up empty.

    never thought i'd find the answer on youtube! LOL@duct tape! I have ugly black sticky stuff where the duct tape used to be. Now how the hell do I clean them? I tried soaking them in clorox, scrubbing with bleach sprays.. nothing works... i think some of my blinds even have foot/shoe prints on them that I can't scrub off lol
