My concertina blind when opened to top won't stay up , it drops back down 5 to 6 inches ,
Worse in morning , not so bad pm time , is it something to do with a tension spring?
Not had it to bits yet
Thanks guys

My partners blind has done this before and it's the cord that goes across the back that's came out of one of the holes.

His is a 2004 so may be different.

If it is a 2016 van isn't it still under warranty?

If its same as mine..... remove the two top corners of the plastic surround. They are only held on by clips. This should expose a screw which holds a cord. One in each corner. If the cord is totally slack that one may have snapped. With blind up and looking from outside you can see the cords. If just loose then by undoing screw you can tension cord and retighten screw. Its only into plastic so not too hard. If you have snapped string i found it easier to remove entire unit. Held on by 2 or 3 screws in each corner to wall of van. Its a bit fiddly to rerun string, look at route before removing, dont lose spring or washer at bottom of blind by knot in string!

I don't have to take my T615 back to my dealer (900 mile round trip). I use a local approved workshop for warranty work. The don't even have to discuss issues with my dealer, they go direct to Auto Trail. My blind also drops but only slightly.
