    I ha have a 2008 Tioga SL 31W and need to repair a couple of the day/night shades. I can fix them if I can get at them. Before I start digging into the window treatment I thought I'd see if there is a secret to getting them down to repair. Particularly the shades that are mounted up behind the upper cabinets over the dinette/sofa. Also need to get at one back in the bedroom.

    I suspect they are the same as in our SouthWind.  I used a mirror and flashlight and 'peered' behind the valence and saw two Phillips head screws which held them to the top of the window treatment.  I used a long extension with a Phillips bit to reach them.

    Thanks for the tip. Found three Phillips screws in each holding it to the top of the window treatment. Ended up with a normal screw driver because the shade was too close to the window to get the right angle with an extended one. Took a few bruised knuckles but got them off, repaired, and back up.
