The morning sun hits your eyes before you've had that first sip of coffee, and your shade won't work. It's too bright too soon. This small spring kit restores your shade tension, keeping the glare out until you're ready for the day.
A shade that won't stay down isn't just a small thing; it messes with your mornings. You're barely awake, coffee in hand, when the sun aggressively finds your eyes through the window with that broken shade. It's too bright, too soon, and all you want is to enjoy your caffeine as you slowly finish waking up. This kit restores the tension inside your shade so it glides smoothly and stays where you set it. Once it's fixed, the light softens and your RV feels peaceful again, just how you want your mornings to start.
Small kits in the 1700 Series are made for RV shades between 20" and 36" wide. If you're close to the upper end of a mini size, it won't hurt to go up a size. The only limit is the spring size and whether it fits inside your shade's roller tube. So before you order, check the spring inside your shade. If the internal diameter measures 17 mm, this is the right family of kit. With a standard tape measure, that's about 11/16" and roughly the size of a dime. If it measures closer to 1-1/8" (a little bigger than a quarter), you'll need one of the 28 mm spring kits instead.
Nothing stops a repair faster than missing hardware. This kit includes the spring, clips, brackets, screws, and endcaps, so you can fix the problem in one go and get your shade working like new. And all you need is 3 tools: a pair of pliers, a 1/8" Allen wrench, and a flat-head screwdriver.

Hi everyone, Steve here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our MCD Innovations RV Shade Repair Kit. Now folks, this is perfect for smaller windows. This kit is gonna let you move your shade by hand, and it does come with the brackets and everything you see before me included. This is a 17 millimeter mini springing kit. It's designed for one small RV window shade.
And again, that internal diameter of that spring is 17 millimeters. So make sure you're measuring to match up yours to be sure you're getting the right one as we do carry many different sizes of these. As far as some overall measurements to kind of help you. From end to end here, I got roughly 11 3/8" long on the longer side. And on this little bitty short guy here, I got about 3 5/8".
And then you do get the clips, the retainer, the little set screws. Then you're gonna get four left-hand and four right-hand, two black, two beige, on each of these endcaps here for placing in the end and everything to cover everything up from the side. So again, nice little kit. Probably a good idea is just to have one maybe on hand. That way if you're out in the road and something happens, you don't have to worry about running and trying to find something like this.
I'm not sure many stores would have it, possibly. That's gonna wrap it up for our look at this MCD Innovations RV Shave Repair Kit. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
Worked perfectly!
