Review on Enhanced Vertical Blind Repair Kit - Vane Savers, Clips, and Tabs for Window Blinds Replacement - White (Pack of 30) by Tony Elliott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works fine with a little tweak

First I will say that it works. Unfortunately, 4 of 50 pieces were not processed properly and the hole was too big. But the rest was good. I have thinner slats and had to adjust the cleats a bit to snap the bottom of my bent leg. Don't do this, as I've seen other products do, squeeze the entire clip with a pair of pliers after the clip is on the blinds, this will flatten the little dimples that grip the rod and it will fall off, no grip . The credit card trick works well to remove the slats, slide them up on the moving side as you push them and the slat will lift and fall out. When installing, push the repaired rod up so that the hole (rectangular hole) does not match the clip, push it all the way up with the offset, and then push it to the side. If it's in line the bottom of the bar clamp (on the rail) will go into the hole and it will be difficult to pull back out, it fits almost perfectly. Like I said, it takes a bit of work, but they work very well once you do this. I made it sound complicated, but it's not.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Exchange availability
