    Is it possible to shorten a cordless vinyl mini blind?
    Community Answer
    No. They are pre-tensioned, or designed to work with the weight they start with. Removing anything would cause the blind to raise on its own, and no longer be a blind.
  • Question
    I cut the cord to raise and lower, and it went into the mechanism in the top. How can I get the cord?
    Community Answer
    You'll have to take apart the top, a very tedious and time-consuming task. You might want to consider just buying another.

    How do I manage to thread the cords through the tiny holes in the bottom piece?
    Community Answer
    I had an upholstery needle with an eye large enough to accommodate the cord. I threaded the cord into the needle eye and put it through the hole in the bottom piece.
