Window treatment plastic holders (hooks)

[John Michael]

Not sure on how to call these but they are the plastic hooks that holds the fabric left and right of the windows. They break easily. I started to glue them back together but then the next time we bump into it, the repaired hook would break again. I bought new ones that didn't last very long either. So eventually I tried I tried to "Gorilla" tape the hooks back together. This solution has worked for us: 1) it's not visible once the fabric is on the hook. 2) whenever we bump against it, it just has enough little flexibility to give way and to go back in the original position.
A very simple fix, thought maybe someone else might find use for it. Some pics in attachment.
Another solution would be to move smoothly and gently through the Rv, but then that's not really our style

My solution was to remove all those decorative fabrics. Really opened up the wall space and looks much better to us.

John, I just stripped the fabrics and blinds from my new to me 23D and mounted cellular shades in all the windows..

I have 9 of those holders if you want them. The end edges are a little discolored from sunlight but otherwise they are intact.

Thanks Tom, I have some new spare ones just in case. So why the double cell, to get more insulation for the double pane windows?

I am sure it gave you more light. Did you hide the blind cords or you don't care that they are visible? regards jm

John, The Cellular shades I used are cordless, you just move them up and down. They are also room darkening so at night you dont get any light bleeding through the blinds. I also think they help keep it warmer inside.

And, the better half thinks they look better than the skinny blinds
