Window Blind On Sliding Door

[Guest Jellybean]

Hi All,

 

I have just joined the Citroen Owners Club, as we just got a 2008 C8 a couple of months ago - and love it....

 

However I was wondering if anyone has the cost of a replacement window blind for the off-side sliding door?

 

Also if anyone could tell me how to remove the original blind & re-fit?

 

The reason that I ask is, yesterday one of our kids had been messing around with the blind and it was not retracted back properly. Therefore when my wife opened the rear door it got caught on the door frame and ripped the mesh approx 50% along the length of the blind just below the top rod.

 

If the blind is silly money & if I can remove the blind easily, then my wife says that she might be able to mend it on the sewing machine - either re-stich it or insert a fabric panel.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Just got a quote from our local Citroen dealer - £205.07 each :unsure:

That seems very very expensive to me !!!!!

 

Looks like I will need to remove the blind and see if my better half can work magic with her sewing machine. Either that or the kids piggy bank might be a few pounds lighter.....
