Tensioning the roller blind and screen panel pano roof
Hello friends does anybody know how to tension the roller blind and screen on the pano roof as mine is not very springy anymore. Also there were some plastic clips that I like to purchase. Does anybody printing these as I’d like to buy 8 of them (see photo)
Thank you
Eppy

Hi Eppy,
please find attached the documentation from Westfalia, although in German but maybe helpful anyway.

Good Luck!

for the benefit of anyone who is going to try re-tensioning their blines.....

I just went through this. with success finally (though not before some screaming and yelling)

what I found not clear in the photos and instructions was this.

1. do NOT completely remove the white anchor and secures the wire. It's very easy for the wire to get pulled into and lost in the frame. Loosen the screws, move the plastic anchor a little bit to allow some slack (4-5 cm) and then resecure it.

2. I used 2 sets of locking pliers. 1X to gab the flat tab and turn the rod to add tension. and then a 2nd set to lock and hold the metal shaft (release the pliers from the flat tab) while I fiddled trying to get the flat tab back into the plastic end cap.

3. also, on the other end, the round end, will likely fall out of it's hole. Try to avoid that if you can (I used ratchet straps to hold the frame partly together) but it has to go back into it's hole before you can close up the "tab" end.

Once you've spent 2 hours doing one, you'll know how it all works and you could do another one in 5 minutes.

good luck.
