About an hour ago I posted to an old thread re restringing a shade. Don't know why it was in FreeLoaders area, so I'm posting it here.
I used the United Shade kit for restringing today. Worked great. Comes with instructions but I watched the video step by step while I was restringing. You must take the valance and shade down unless Lance has gone to a release on the top rail. Our top rail was screwed into a wood cross piece that is part of the valance.

Been there, done that (×2) . Likely have to do it again at some pt.
Hi we have a 2019 2285. The window shade string in the slide has broken. I can’t figure out how to get that gigantic valance off. I see the two screws in each side but can’t see what’s above.
Could someone please post a link to the shade kit for the front window of a 2019 2285? Thanks in advance!

I realize it's been a while since you posted this - but I'm wanting a bit more information. Our pleated blinds are extremely hard to raise and lower so I'm doing some research for solutions. Where did you see the video you mentioned?
Look up United Shade Kit video on restringing.
I think your strings may be too tight. Where the string comes down and attaches to each side of the side frame, the string wraps around a little splastic spool-like device. You can unscrew the spool a bit, rotate spool a bit to loosen string, and then tighten the screw again. Repeat on each side. That may do the trick.
Thanks DSR Campers! I'll give that a try!
