Thanks the same exact thing happened to mine. The task was a lot easier than it looked. 👍 I just didn't want to break it more. The walk through helped a lot!!
Hi. Thanks for watching! I definitely do not have the parts. I went online to buy a replacement wand tilt mechanism. I think that is your best best. Get the manufacturer and model of your blinds first, then try to get a replacement wand tilt mechanism. It’s pretty easy to replace. I hope this helps!
Hello there! I'm trying to fix my vertical blinds and find out that one of the two little "screw" to help rotate is missing. I was trying to buy one of yours, but the graber is not the same as you have. Is there a way that I can send you a picture for you to help me with this matter. Maybe you have one of those "screws" around? If you can help, please! I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
Hi. Thanks for watching! I don't know if you can buy just the screw. I definitely don't have it. I recommend buying a new wand tilt mechanism from the manufacturer of your blinds. I would look on the blinds and see if there is a sticker with the manufacturer and model. You should be able to order the part from them. Good luck!
Tip to take slat off with 1 hand... hold the slat from up high and push it gently so that it glides straight up (it's a small/ slight motion) and then slide it off to the side
My wand rod thing gets stuck and I cannot find a video specifically for it 😅 so it’ll turn somewhat and the blinds will open slightly then it gets stuck and won’t turn anymore and idk what’s wrong with it 😢
I know how frustrating it is to have a set of blinds that don't work! It sounds like it might be the wand tilt mechanism that needs to be replaced. I would see if you can buy a new one for your model of blinds and replace it. It's much cheaper than replacing the whole thing. Thanks.
@ after we established that the tuning mechanism as working fine (took it off and tested it) we began looking at the reasons the shaft was refusing to turn. I think the misalignment of some of the vertical hanger gears was the reason. We were able to get the shaft to twist properly then installed the gear box and it works fine.
Hi. Thanks for the question! Here's a link to the correct (for my blinds) wand tilt mechanism: fixmyblinds.com/products/graber-g71-wand-control-tilt-mechanism
Hi. Thanks for commenting! It sounds like you are having trouble removing the wand, is that right? Sometimes the plastic ring that attaches to the wand tilt mechanism has to be pushed in and moved to the side to navigate out and unhook. Sometimes there is a plastic piece around the circumference of the wand where it attaches to the wand tilt mechanism. Do either of those sound like what you are running into?
The video cuts off the top part and doesn't show the full image. Try to put on wider lens. Can't see par of what you are videotaping. Otherwise a detailed helpful video.
YO DAVE THIS WAS A REAL ROCKET SCIENTIST DIY JOB HERE. I DID NOT REALLY NEED TO WATCH AS I ALL READY FIGURED IT OUT. I WAS HOPING YOUR AI SIDE KICK KELLY MIGHT MAKE AN APPEARANCE. WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? IS SHE ALL RIGHT? IS SHE EVEN STILL ALIVE DAVE? YOU NEED TO PRODUCE HER OR I AM CALLING THE AUTHORITIES! SHE HAD A GREAT RACK DAMN IT.
Hi. I’m sorry you could not see clearly! I will definitely try to make sure it’s clearer in the future. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them.
Thanks for watching! Haha. I am always trying to do better with shortening the videos. I will definitely take your recommendation to be more brief in the future. Thanks.

Thank you , I did it myself. Didn’t even need maintenance help.
Awesome! I’m glad it helped!
Is this the blinds with extra blinds on the top?
Hi. Thanks for watching. I am not sure about the extra blinds on top. Mine is just a regular vertical blind.

I had the same issue but it wasn’t the mechanism, it was the misalignment of the slat hangers.
That’s great. I’d love to hear what you did to fix it!

@@DaveCarolson 14 BUCKS FOR ONE PIECE...WHATS YOUR CUT DAVE? THAT IS SOME SERIOUS THIEVERY!
I dont type i got the chain and rope type but the chain will not turn
Hi. I have not used the chain type so I am not sure about that. I wish you good luck.
Nice try but I can't access the hook at the end of the wand because there is plastic holding it in place ... and covering up the hook.

Hi @MichaelMengore. Thank a lot for watching! I am glad you were able to figure it out so quickly. Some people need more explanation.
Your end cap isn't on all the way.
Thanks!
Every time you say “as you can see” we can’t see.

Absolutely impossible to see that.
