Eagle HT - How to detach a window blind?

[DavidJay]

I have one window blind with a worn cord (previous owner). I purchased a re-build cord kit but I can’t figure out how to get the blind down.

Does anyone know how the top of the blind is attached to the valence? Or how to take down the valence to get to the blind mounting? I see the screws to remove the side valence, but not the top valence.

If it makes a difference in the mount, the blind is in the dining room slide.

It's screwed into the valence. get a strong flashlight and you should be able to see it. It's hard to get to it but can be done.

If it's like our Eagle TT, look up between the back of the shade and the window towards the underside of the valance where it meets the wall.

You should see a couple of metal L brackets that are screwed to the underside of the valance. Remove those screws (2 on most, maybe 3 for larger ones) and take the shade AND Valance off the wall.

You can then unscrew the shade from the valance to restring.

MUCH easier to reattach everything (shade to valance, valance to wall) than trying to remove and reattach the shade with the valance still attached to the wall.

Thanks BlueJay and berkashire!
