sunroof blind

cammy · 12th August 2010, 15:29

My sunroof blind seems to have lost the plastic runners that fit on the metal prongs of the blind and run in a groove on the sunroof housing. Does anyone know where I can purchase some, and are they much of a problem to fit.
Many thanks Cammy

Many thanks for the reply, but I need to get it fixed as the wife isn't keen on the sun shining through!

Many thanks Cammy

Have you tried Rimmers?

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID002009

They appear to have them in stock - not cheap though.

My blind occasionally sticks right back in the roof section too - guess I need to take a look at it.
