Kitchen window shade tie down broken

Hello,

We have a 21ne, new last year. I broke one of the shade tie down posts in the kitchen.

Suggestions on where to get replacements?

Thanks !

Dennis

I called the company, which had a label on the bottom side of the shade, and they sent me those cylinders for free. However, that was quite a while ago.

You may not want to replace them at all as they are not required…only tension on the cord is required in that area.
See how I removed all of them in this post:

I recently replaced the tie down units on my kitchen window that were broken when the shade fell down during travel and broke both of them. I used the same source as 7Gentex, and also included the shorter units. Replaced both on the rear window of our 5.0. Now they don't stick out beyond the rear backrest of our U shaped dinette, and I have several spares.
