Replacing the irritating broken slat on your blind is fairly easy to do if you have the time. If saving money does not motivate you then I suggest you do it due to privacy issues. It is admittedly an eyesore looking everyday at that one broken blind/slat isn't it?

Thanks! 😊 I had two broken slats, and I checked like you showed. I actually have 4 extra slats on the bottom. It was a little tedious, but it's really simple, like you said. We have custom blinds and they were ridiculously expensive. The company that installed them wanted a flat fee of $100 dollars to fix them. Your video saved me! Thanks again 😊

It's amazing how many people will just toss the old blind because of a few broken slats and spend $100 on a new blind. I learned the same lesson when my son was going through that stage... they just love to look out the window to experience the outside world 😅 Let's just say I got pretty fast at remove the old slats and replacing them 👍

Excellent presentation. I suggest using a needle and thread to pull the cord through the holes and the bottom hole. This eliminates the removal of the button. I used a pick tool set available at any auto store to remove the knot. After I pulled the cord above the level of the bad slat I removed the bad slat, replaced it with the good slat, then ran the needle and thread through the bottom of the cord. The needle is passed down the entire line of holes including the button, then just pull the cord through using the thread. Similar to running an electrical line through a conduit.
