We are trying to source a replacement side window blind from auto trail. 3 days without success nown! Tricky bleeder I think.

Look at the other side for clues mate, and if there is something we might be able to 3d print, let us know!

One of ours has broken in exactly the same place, done a temporary repair with Gaffa tape which works if gentle when opening and closing. If the swivel hinge section can be removed then it is possible to do a more permanent repair by 3d printing I guess?

yup same thing has happened to mine, very poor quality for what they cost.

There's also an amazing moldable glue called Sugru that feels like a firm plastic/rubber version of playdough. You can mold it into any shape and it sets in a few hours. It comes in lots of colours... not cheap but really useful.

Sugru

The benefits of original formula + family friendly formula = the best Sugru ever!

Here’s a few more snaps and the culprit out

Gorilla glue..?

I found some glue that is cured by UV light got it of Amazon. It's similar to Superglue but does not set until you shine the UV light on it. Works very well. Might I suggest you drill a hole down the end and put a screw in it. You could also make one out of wood and just put a small steel rod through it.

Going to try and get a 3D copy done once I locate one

I was going to suggest Sugru. I think you can buy it in B&Q, though I'm not sure. Not been in one of them this year.

You could make one out of a piece of Aluminum and a file while you are mucking about trying to print one or just screw it back together with a couple of M1 self tappers and some glue.

I had exactly the same problem on mine towards the end of a French trip. Gorilla glue failed after the next use. What solution did you adopt in the end?

Mine went the same. £37 of leisure parts or French eBay 4 for £10. So got the French ones about dec last year. Trying to find what the sight was called. Reminds me. Still to fit it. Brian

Here is the sight 2x. Rotule store remodel t lateral. Partierre. If these are the parts. Brian

Gordon, keep the broken part and I'll 3D print a new one, one problem tho, end of term soon, so could be September, unless I am given my voluntary severance?
