2022 378MBS Rear Roller Blind Issue
Friends,
We managed to over extend the rear roller blind above the back couch so that it won't roll back up any longer. Has anyone had this issue and successfully fixed; if so, how? I can't seem to figure out how to take the valences down to access the blind roller; trying to manipulate the blind roller as attached does nothing. Thanks yet, once again, for the information.U.S. Navy Retired

That can happen if the blind is hanging directly off the bottom of the roller. You can try to reach up there and turn the roller by hand to unlatch it so it will retract.

I tried that on our kitchen 37"x18" shade - rolled up with difficulty by hand. Sometimes it might work for a single pull-down and then quit again. Ours is in warranty and GD is sending a new one. The service manager at our dealer (Montana & Imagine) told me years ago that the most brought in for service request is shade issues. Wondering why someone doesn't make a quality fixture. Mine have been easy to remove from the latches at top of window so I've not needed to remove the valance. I'm reading that some units have then attached directly to the valance requiring valance removal.

The roller shade should be attached to the top of the valance with clear plastic clips. I believe on ours (same model as yours) there are 3 of these clips for the rear shade. I have found them by feel or by using a flash light and a little contortion to see up into the valance. You may have to manually roll up the shade to get to the rear portion of the middle clip. Once you locate them, just squeeze together between forefinger and thumb and it will release the shade. With two people, you should be able to re-roll the shade by turning the knurled knob end. To reinstall the shade, just push the metal bar into the clips and it will lock in place.
