LandlightS on Mar 30, 2013Go to your handy Ace hardware with the wand. Have the cut a small piece of clear tubing slightly larger than the diameter wand and when you get home,,,,,,cut small pieces that will fit 3/4 the length of the hook piece on the blind, Inset the hook into the wand and pull the tubing down to cover and secure the hook to the wand. Gary PS: I assume you mean that just the plastic tube is broken. If the entire plastic tab with the hook is broken,,,,,,I hate to say it, but it's time for new blinks.Helpful Reply

Gay Storm on Apr 04, 2013@ Chris: actually, Home Depot here in Fresno has nothing. @ Melissa that's a good idea, I'll try Goodwill or Salvation Army store. Thank you.Helpful Reply

Pauliegirl1 on Feb 18, 2015So, if I understand you....you cant open and close the blinds?? If that IS the case, I had the same problem....I just took the piece off and used some Gorilla Glue let it dry completely re-attach and you can open and close your blinds!! Hope that helps!!Helpful Reply

Katy Battiste on Jan 03, 2016If you can't find replacements then go to Lowes and get tiny wooden dowels. Cut them to the correct length, about a foot or so, and put tiny hooks in the end. Find the hooks at Hobby Lobby, or Lowes hardware. Paint the dowel, or not. This is what I would do.Helpful Reply
