How Can I determine if this part will fit my shade? I see it says 28mm but what part do I actually measure? Thanks

Hey Steve, thanks for reaching out! To determine if the MCD Innovations RV Shade Repair Kit # MC74SR will fit your shade, you'll want to measure the red adjustment end and the black drive end of your existing spring assembly. Those are the components the 28mm specification refers to, so matching their dimensions is the key to finding the correct replacement.
I actually grabbed one of these kits from our warehouse and took some measurements myself! I've included a picture showing those dimensions so you can compare them to your existing spring assembly. If you can remove your current spring and check those measurements, we can make sure you're getting the right kit for your shade.
Are you replacing a broken spring, or has your shade just stopped rolling up properly?
