Hey Tink,
 
Thanks for the input.  I was going to call my dealer tomorrow to see if the blinds are under warranty.  I'll let everyone know what I find out from the dealers or/ Forest River on Monday.
 
Take Care,
Dockguy

I would think they would be under warranty. It's a brand new r-pod and they should be like new also. Have you checked with your dealer to see if they could replace them under warranty? I would definitely do that.

Hi Butterflyand Other Podders,
 
I would be interested in 1 set of blinds as I have a bent set  which I would like to replace.  This set came bent with my purchase of my new 2011 R-pod 171.  I do not think that they are under warranty.  They would replace the set along the door entrance.  I can be reached at (315) 714-2159.
 
Thanks,
Dockguy

You don't have to unscrew anything.  There are two metal clips that unlock the blind from the hold, flat head screwdriver to open them up and the blinds fall out.  You have to look up under the valance to see them.


I left the holder in place and used tension rods from my curtains.

Stuff happens .... just take a breath and move on ....
 
When we traded in Astro the mods we did didnt seem to effect the value. We got a very, very good trade-in allowance for it. Which I hope is "good" news for all Podders, in a way.
Yes...good news, PodPatrol...when we are ready...thanks!

I then used small tension rods inside the valance to hold curtains that i made from a light blocking curtain. It wasn't that hard to do. good luck and sorry about your mishap.
Heidi...thanks for this info and I really like your signature!
