I've never had to do it yet, but I remember a post on this awhile ago. Remedy was to remove one? end, then turn the inner rod to pretension the spring again, much like you would do to a home window shade.

I've never seen one of these up close, but can it be any more than a glorified roll up window shade? Hideously over priced and overengineered, of course, yet I wonder... could some answers, and perhaps parts be had from an old (larger diameter) roll up window shade?

Just a thought... Good Luck!!!

I was planning on taking off one end of the cover, as suggested earlier in this thread, and re-tensioning the spring, then re-riveting the cover back on.

Too many projects, and only two days per weekend... <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" />
