I might have different shades, but the Right hand side changes the length of them.
I retracted them and began rolling. Some of them were tougher than others. I believe rolling towards you is shorter and away is longer. It took a few turns before I began to see the length start to change.

On mine at first it didn't feel like it would turn. I'm sure you gave it a forceful effort, but as someone who cringes at the idea of breaking something, I thought I might mention it again.
Or the ends of your blinds might be visible and you just know there isn't a wheel to turn, mine are hidden by a valance thing.
In any case, I hope you get it sorted!

This was helpful as was the diagram. I had one the dealer had tried unsuccessfully to get reconnected to that spring retainer clip. That and the valance fell down later on. The other window shade needed some adjustment so it would retract fully.
I used the longer loose one as an experiment to figure out those clips, the adjustment and mounting. Ended up that I wound the spring using a vise grips on the flat tang as one would do on the home shades. I used screws to mount that valance to the rig instead of nails. Once I figured things out I removed the other shade bracket using the spring clips. Adjustment was easy. Getting the bracket to snap back in took several tries before success. There’s no clearance plus required some contortions to reach up behind the valance behind the roller to find the spring tang.Last edited by Neal Westendorf; 10-05-2021 at 11:34 AM.
