Okay, we're almost done now.
The next step is to re-mount the motor and storage tube back into the shade assembly. Note that the plastic sleeves on the storage tube line up with the nylon clips. Screw the 3 flat-head screws back in, remembering that a washer goes on both sides of each screw mount.
Shove the excess rope through the hole in the assembly.
Now we need to cut off the excess rope. Using a magic marker, make a mark on the rope at the exact point where it leaves the assembly through the hole. See picture 1.
Using your drill battery, extend a few inches of rope out of the assembly. Using cutters, cut off the excess rope 1 centimeter BELOW the mark you made. Using the battery, feed the rope all the way back into the storage tube. Take the slider portion of the shade and verify that the rope has retracted enough to allow it to sit flush with the assembly. If not, cut off a bit more rope. If so, it's time to start re-assembly.
At this point, installation is now the reverse process of removal.
Take your time and be patient, and you will succeed!
I hope you found this post useful.
Cheers!
