Hi .One of the pull straps has been snapped on my window shutters .The shutter is fully down so secure but the strap has disappeared into the wind mechanism above .Its sealed with silicone and without cutting it out I can’t see if it’s an easy fix so better for somebody in the know .Any advice appreciated .Rick

Hi
You could do it yourself it’s not to hard basic diy skills look on YouTube step by step instructions and straps are very cheap

Thanks Paul
I have taken both the overhead panel and the winder case apart and found that the spring loaded wind mechanism is now faulty .The top spring loaded wheel seems built into the window casing so a bit out of my depth DIY wise .I have found a guy who is coming to look at it soon so hopefully sorted .Will report back here .Thanks for your reply as YouTube can be fantastic for all sorts
