Blinded by sun at your dinette or losing privacy in your RV bedroom? This small spring kit restores balance in shades 18" to 38" wide, so they roll smoothly and stay where you need them, day or night.
You're sitting in your dinette trying to enjoy dinner when the sun cuts across the table, blinding you. You tug the shade down, hoping for relief, but it won't stay put; it creeps back up or hangs crooked. Maybe it's your bedroom, galley, or hall window. Wherever it is, the problem feels the same. Small shades like these are supposed to block glare during the day and protect your privacy at night, but worn springs or a cracked autostop take that comfort away. Instead of fighting the shade every time the light shifts, you can pull it down once and know it'll stay. This kit includes both parts, so you're covered either way.
Small kits are made for RV shades between 18" and 38" wide. If you're really close to the max width, it won't hurt to go up to the next size. The only limit is the spring size and whether it fits inside your shade's roller tube. These shades need the right spring to roll evenly. So before you order, check the spring inside your shade. If the internal diameter measures 28 mm, this is the right kit. If you have a standard tape measure, that will be about 1-1/8", or a little bigger than the size of a quarter. If it measures closer to 11/16", about the size of a dime, you'll need one of the 17 mm spring kits instead.
Nothing stops a repair faster than missing hardware. This kit includes the spring, clips, 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.

Worked out great great product thank you very much. Easier to deal with you.
It was the proper part to repair the non-retracting MCD shade on our Pleasure-Way. My only issue is with the design of the part. The spring on the failed part was still intact but had lost its attachment to the inner shaft. That attachment point should be more robust.
The product is great. Your team failed with support. You did refer me to the MCD support and they were able to solve the problem. Your videos are not bad but lack the information needed to solve the issues that come with reassembly.
We have a 2 shade system in our Motorhome's bathroom. Our grandson over extended the back out shade. I tried to reset it but that did not work. The shade would just completely fall down. Once I removed the two shade bracket, repairing the broken shade parts was very easy both installing and adjusting. The directions were good. This shade now works as it should. Also the spring mechanism inside of the broken shade had pulled away from its base. I may have been able to repair it but given the reasonable cost of the new hardware, I decided not to risk needing to do it over.
Exactly what we needed. Perfect fit!
Was awesome to get so fast but I may have to return Mini for the small cause they all are about 3-5” too short. Been down with flu but attempting to put them back together this week. Wish me luck.
The kit worked great!
Works like it should. Had to watch MCD video several times to get it adjusted.
Works perfectly!
