I have purchased a re-stringing kit at Camping World and it came with instructions. You might try Googling to find instruction sheets online. I seem to remember finding them before.

By the way, it was enough of a hassle that I just ordered MCD shades. The kit is certainly cheaper, though.

Try searching for this website: "FixMyBlinds.com" or something like that. They have kits with instructions. Fixed three of mine. Not rocket science, just a little time.

I think you can still send them back to Tiffin in Red Bay for restringing. If all else fails, contact them and see if they still provide this service.

I contacted "Fixmyblinds" online, they sent me the materials to fix my day/night shades. They also sent me the instructions how to do it. I have replaced the strings on 4 of my blinds.
