  • Solitude Blind Removal

    The blinds in my Solitude have a pair of spring loaded buttons on the outer side of the base.
    I can see that each will press in separately, but my hands are way too big to get both pushed in.



    And, lucky me... The wooden Valance is only removable via demolition, as they built them in place,

    Before I go any further, I figure I should ask.

    Does anyone have a link to the blinds in the latest Solitudes or insight to their removal and replacement?

    Thanks

    Can you reach up there with a small pry bar, fork, or other tool to push the button?

      Are you just trying to remove the roller shade?



      These are what the things look like that hold them up. The clear plastic tab at the top is spring loaded. Put a screwdriver in between the tab and the white fabric and turn the screwdriver. That should release the shade from the bracket.

        Thanks for that. I will see if I can get it to come down today.

        Do you have to push the buttons in to lock it back in place, or just push it up into place?

          No luck.

          I can push the buttons in and grab the tube with my hand, but no luck releasing it.

          When you push/hold the button, what do you do next... exactly?
