Bongo Fury

The rear blind has stopped holding itself down on the lowest setting. It stays for a second then pops up. Is there any way to strengthen / tighten the spring?

Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks,
Luke

When I first bought my Bongo I went around lubricating and spraying everything in sight, including the manual blind runners - bad mistake - they pinged up at every occasion - always seemed to happen when you were getting changed in the morning and the slightest movement would open it.....anyway, I sprayed electrical contact cleaner onto the runners and the newly applied silicon spray was easily removed and been fine since.

Two of the manual blinds on mine pop up when driving on bumpy roads. There's a plastic part under the trim around the window that the bar on the blind clips under to stay down. I think this part gets worn with use. One option is to use a little velcro on the blind. The other half of the velcro can go on the lever for opening the window (the window itself is too far away from the blind). A tidier option (that I have not yet tried) may be to reshape the end of the part that the blind's rod clips under when it's down. To reshape using a file would mean removing the plastic trim around the window to access the blind-holder-downer-thingy. This looks like a pain to do. I am wondering whether applying a hard-setting glue instead of reshaping using a file would work -- and would eliminate the need to remove the trim.
