Replacing a continuous cord loop is one of the simplest blind repairs.
1) Remove the blind from its brackets. This is usually accomplished by pushing on the head rail from the front side and then tilting down. Sometimes there is a small tab on the backside of the brackets, near the bottom, that you can release to dislodge the rail.
2) Remove the cover of the cord loop mechanism to expose the gear that drives the internal workings. This is either done by gently prying off the cap with a small thin screwdriver or a household butter knife. Be very careful and try not to break the plastic tangs on the cover. Some models have small screws that are holding the cap in place.
3) Once the cover is off, remove the old cord if you have not done so already. Take the new cord and guide it into the teeth of the gears (SEE DIAGRAMS 1-5 ON THE LEFT). This is very similar to putting a chain back on the sprocket of a bicycle. Reattach the cover and rehang the blind.
