How to Replace a Broken Window Wand Tilt Mechanism

Introducción

As wand tilt mechanisms age, they can crack and break internally. Instead of replacing the entire window shade or blind, the process of just replacing the broken wand tilt mechanism inside the window blind is quite simple!

The price of a new window blind typically ranges from $80-$400. Whereas, just replacing the tilt wand mechanism is $10. Not only are you saving money, but you will greatly decrease the amount of waste going to the landfill.
