I have replaced all the original night day blinds in the coach with another brand and style. The removed ones are the pleated style with off white day shades and taupe night shades.
All but the kitchen window one are in great shape. For some reason it has coffee stains on it.
I don't know if there is any interest. I will keep them around for a while in case someone needs a spare.

Richard, did you replace due to appearance or motor/gear function? I've tried drilling new holes and placing a screw into them, but with very little luck. Frustrating. Thanks!

Tony, I replaced for aesthetic reasons.
The blinds did not have a motor, they were manual up and down.

Tony,
I have seen the drilling / screws fix work a few times...but you have to be careful about where the screws are. The good folks at Newell will tell you the exact measurement. (I wish I remembered the measurement)

Bill, I had the exact measurements (1 3/4" from the end, I think), but didn't work except for one shade. I may go to Richard's solution.

Tony,
Call Newell or somebody give the exact place to put the screws. I did it on mine but don't remember what the measurement was but when you do it right it works.
