Our rear doors are covered by a 112" W x ~86" H set of vertical
blinds. I would like to keep everything BUT the fabric vanes.


NON STANDARD VANE-to-RAIL CONNECTOR
The issue is that the plastic piece that connects the fabric vanes to
the rail appears non-standard. The (male) connector facing downward
from the rail is in the shape of a capital I (like an I beam). The
female connector, connected to the fabric closes in around the bottom
of the I-beam. (see the link below for a few pictures of this
connector). Some of the female connectors are broken. I'd like to
find a place that sells replacement connectors. Everything at HD &
Lowe's is a standard/interchangeable clip.


Any ideas?


Have you looked all over the blinds to find out who made them?

Do you know where you got them?

thanks in advance,

The blinds were installed by a previous owner, I got on a chair and
looked, unsuccessfully, at the top, front, & sides for a manufacturer
label. I haven't taken the whole assembly down yet; I'll try that
tonight.
