The cap doesn`t fit, that`s why I asked :P Must be at least 2 years since I sold one, hence the question

Only thing I can think of is to put yourself in buyers position, and ask how much you would be willing to pay if you needed/wanted them and go from there.

No more than £35, you can buy a whole omega for 40.

Let me know what price you think Rob as a I have a spare rear blind (PFL with modified plug) in the loft. Only really kept it as a source of spares for my two facelift ones.

Worth about £1.99 and half a Mars bar delivered. :y

I will have it off you btw.  :y ;D


I would guess at £25 - £30 tbh.

I could do with a new blind on my Elite as it doesn't fold away properly when it needs to....

There's a guide for fixing it...  ::)

Once fixed, best medicine is to use it periodically  ;)

I have had a look in the maintenance section but cannot find a thread about a 'fix' for the blind but a removal guide.... maybe to 'fix' the thing I can add my own intelligence and remove the motor, wind the blind in and refit the motor :) ..... there we go, I used my own initiative LOL

needs to be reassembled with the motor sync'd to blind (or more accurately, the "gearbox" sync'd to blind position)

Use a dry lubricant, like the stuff for nylon curtain rails, in the groves on the blind.

Mine does the opposite. Needs help to pop up, but goes down fine. Perhas I need to rub some Viagra on the grooves ?  :)

The only dry lubricant I can think I have is pencil lead... (I have used it a few times before to great effect)...

I'll wait until the weather decides its going to be dry for at least a day before I decide to go and have a go at fixing it... I need to remove the rear speakers anyway as I need to put some sound deadening material (Dynamat etc..) onto the metal shelf, as the 6.5" subs Iv installed there don't seem to like being bolted directly to the metal...

The silicone type spray for sticky plastic curtain rails works wonders.

This type of stuff, but available much cheaper from DIY stores:

I think I currently use a wd40 branded one, as it was what Brackley DIY had, I'll check if ever the monsoon stops

I have a can of silicone spray, I bought it for the seatbelts in my old Vectra B as they never returned when they should have.... I'll give that stuff a go when the rain eventually stops....

Did it work for the seatbelts? If so, where did you spray it?
