Heki rooflight insect screen re-stringing

[saxonborg]

One of the cords in the corrugated insect screen has come adrift, it was like this when I bought the moho. I have removed the whole assembly from the van to see if I can repair it. Having removed a cople of corner covers it is difficult to see how the cords are routed. Anybody tackled this or know of any instructions on how to do it? The attached picture shows the unit removed. Would appreciate any assistance.

Not sure if this will help or not, might be worth a look though;

Not your particular type of blind but it might give you a bit of a lead in.

Not Heki but Polyplastic

When I looked at the clear rooflight itself the references refer to a Polyplastic unit so I am assuming that the flyscreen/shade is also the same manufacturer as I can't see any makers marks on it. Thanks so far for the input but the units shown on the youtube videos don't match mine.

Rooflight Update

I contacted Polyplastic for service info on how to re chord the flyscreen, however the reply I received was less than helpful, "go to local caravan dealer", so I bit the bullet and gradually pulled the thing apart without completely dismantling it, I could then see the routing of the cords and eventually find the broken ends. Fortunately when they are built there is excess cord and I was able to pull the cord through and re-terminate it. Now rebuilt and back in the van.

Glad you got it sorted.

I think I've stumbled across something that may have helped. After the event I know but here it is anyway.

Tks for taking the trouble to search on my behalf, unfortunately my unit is not a Dometic product and is made differently to the one shown on Youtube video. Anyway sorted now.
