Blinds

Hi, new member here.
I have just bought (a month ago) a 2006 Swift Suntor 590RL.
Been away twice in it and love it.
The rear window roller blind (not the fly screen) mechanism doesn"t work (believe it is a Dometic/Seitz)
I have tried Swift dealers for a complete replacement unit but have been told that size of roller blind is discontinued. I have also tried various motorhome accessory shops and motorhome/caravan breakers with no luck.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

You may have to replace it with another make or slightly larger.

or you could buy a larger one and start the process of robbing Peter to pay Paul as they say

If it's just a roll up one, they can be taken apart and cleaned and maybe mended, mine just needed a good clean and lub.

Check it hasn’t accidentally been put in the wrong channel. That happened on mine. The bottom bit of the roller blind that catches in the runners to hold it down we’re in the wrong channel. Sorry I can’t explain any better.

It's definitely in the right channel.
As it seems my size roller blind is impossible to get I'm going to have a go myself.
I've ordered a tensioner cog as mines pretty beat up.
I'll have to try some way of holding the end caps on as the holes the screws go in are in thin plastic and have been enlarged by overtighteng.
Hopefully I'll be able to get it working.
