Panoramic Window Shade Problem

The powered MCD panoramic window shape in the bunk area of our 2020 Greyhawk 29MVP is working but the lower “take-up” roller has stopped working, i.e. it no longer provides any tension. I’ve tried tightening the external adjustment knobs but nothing seems to work. Has anyone had to replace the internal springs or found other fixes?

Panoramic shade solution

After taking apart the take-up roller connected to the panoramic roller shade I found that the internal tension wheel lock was too small allowing it to turn freely and never adding spring tension. I fabricated a larger insert, riveted to the original internal nylon tension wheel, which keeps the tension wheel keyed to the internal ribs of the roller tube preventing it from turning freely. Now when turning the external tension adjuster wheel it adds tension to the internal spring as it should. The take-up roller now keeps the shade taught and pulls it into place successfully.

I had a different initial problem with my shade I had to fix, but in the process of fixing that, the take-up roller spring released and I now have no tension. I'm not sure I can do all that you did, but can you give me some clues on either how to take it apart or which direction to turn the tension adjuster wheel (assume it's the white one)?? Thanks!
