Problem
The fabric rubs against the window casement while opening or closing the
shade.
Solution
Adjust the Shade
Before trimming the shade, be sure that the bottom rail is level. Shim if
necessary. Also check that the top cord guide is directly above the center of the
shade.
NOTE:
Incorrect placement of the cord guide is indicated by the shade rubbing
on the window casement on one side but not on the other.
Trim the Shade
Trim the shade if the fabric rubs against the window casement at any point
while opening or closing the shade.
CAUTION:
Trimming the shade permanently alters the shade. Your shade was
made to a template for your window. Be sure you have exhausted all other
adjustment possibilities before trimming the shade.
With the shade closed, note the area(s) where the fabric cells are rubbing.
Gently pull the fabric forward in that area out of the window casement.
Cut small sections of fabric from the
rubbing area. Be careful not to cut away
too much fabric. Trim following the curve
of the arch.
Gently push the fabric back into place.
Open and close the shade, checking
to see if the fabric still rubs. Check the
fit after each cut. If needed, repeat the
trimming process until the fabric raises
and lowers without rubbing.
