Advice to repair Vertical track blinds

[psarinuk]

Hi,
I've a large 5 meter by 2.4 meter vertical track blind in the living room.

The kids have been playing over the last few years with the blinds, as a result of which some blinds have come off the rail and some geared connectors/ carriers/ vane clips have broke on the rail (please refer to attached pics). So not all the blinds are turning now when opening/ closing.

Question is can these connectors (white in the pics) be bought separately? If yes, from where?

I am quite sure I can remove this blind and open it to replace these connectors. A few years ago, the pull string for shifting the blinds to either ends got so twisted that it won't open with ease, so I took it apart to untwist the string and put it together again without much difficulty, so I am keen to repair this if its possible.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No reply!! This is quite unusual.

I don't even know where these blinds were bought from. I inherited them when I bought this house.

I found something similar on ebay but not sure if/how that can be used to repair my blinds.

Please take a look and advise:

Very awkward indeed, this one.....I think the only move is to determine the blind make, or replace it complete. I would doubt that the ebay parts would work for you here, but what do I know!
