power drapes

[pbe43]

I have a 98 Bluebird with electric power drapesmade by Action Drapery
Control Model DA/R. I need to replace the rubber wheels that the cord
goes aroun . All three wheels. Help
Thanks Greg

Hi Greg,

Someone will advise where to physically purchase the
replacement wheels.

What I wish to convey/advise is there are two
choices; 1) purchase only the un-mounted rubber
replacement tires, or 2) purchase the tires
pre-mounted on the plastic wheels including the
necessary metal slide clips which retain the complete
wheels on the metal motor shaft.

It is false economy to purchase the former, thinking
incorrectly one can remove the old and easily re-mount
new "tires" on the existing plastic wheels.

I've ruined dozens of each (tires and plastic
wheels) over the years trying... (many of the gadgets
throughout the house). Just keep some extra's on hand
and you won't be sorry. The major mounting struggle,
"T'aint worth the relatively small savings."

Greg,
Our unit is an 1987 PT38 so not sure the electric drape stuff is the
same. I got the Replacement Tires about a year ago from SOMFY SYSTEMS
INC. 800 22-SOMFY www . somfysystems . com .
Product No. 6070000. I just bought the tires. Used an Exacto to cross
cut the old tires being careful not to cut the plastic wheels. Used the
advantage of the drape motor to pull on the 2nd & 3rd tires, and kept my
fingers out of the way. Worked for me. Good luck.
