Parasol Installation Instructions
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.
