    The ones in the Vantare are Levolor and I replaced several strings in mine… bit of a PIA but after you do the first one not bad at all.. I removed the shade first one was a pain then I knew how and it was easy, just time consuming. I taped mine closed with the blue painters tape to keep the holes lined up before i removed the old strings then I made a long very thin piece of wire with a loop on the end to rethread with… On mine the strings were screwed and taped to the motor and roller at the top. worked great for mine but don’t know about Hunter Douglas.

    Jon, watch out for RSI in your thumb. Best make sure you use a different finger each time! Better still, add ‘voice control’ to your list of technology upgrades to-do list.

    Tom, there are two ways they could be secured. Look up do you see a clip type bracket on each end? If yes pull down slightly while rotating top of blind inboard top should come out. Then with top out push up to unclip from bottom of bracket. Style two you will see no bracket, run blind down look up and you will see screws near roller tube…..

    or just stop by and we will fix them up for you…….happy travels

    Depending on where you are, you may be able to find a local shop to do your repairs:

    I think I still have 3 or 4 Hunter Douglas electric shades from the bedroom of our Liberty in the attic. The electric motors worked when they were removed. They are the complete shade less the mounting brackets.

    I’ll take a peek in the attic tomorrow and if they are still there, they are available for the cost of shipping if they can help someone out.
