How to FIX a Broken Rooflight Blind & Flyscreen Campervan / Motorhome / Caravan (Step-by-Step Guide)

Broken blind strings? Is your campervan or motorhome rooflight cassette / combination blind stuck, string snapped, or won't retract? Don't replace the whole unit yet! 🚐🛠️ After our dual blind and flyscreen broke, I searched for a "how-to" video with fixing instructions and couldn't find one, so I decided to figure it out myself! In this video, I take you through the entire DIY repair process so you can save money and fix it yourself. I’ve managed to track down replacement cord and crimps needed to get these blinds sliding perfectly again. I found them on Amazon and have added them to our shop to make it easy for you to find the right ones! I think our rooflight is a Dometic Seitz Heki. In this step-by-step tutorial, we cover: Removing the rooflight frame & blind assembly Taking it apart Identifying the broken parts How to use the new cord and crimps Reassembly & tensioning the springs Testing the repair ✅ The secret to reassembling it so it works like new! 🛒 *GET THE REPAIR PARTS HERE:* You can find the specific cord, crimps, and tools I used in our Amazon Shop 👉 https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/gonkand... 🙌 *DID THIS SAVE YOU MONEY?* I really hope this helps the community!
