This video offers a clear, step-by-step guide for repairing Hunter Douglas UltraGlide systems when the cord detaches from the break activator. Viewers are shown exactly how to access the mechanism, realign the cord, and secure it properly—all with straightforward instructions and minimal tools.
In this video, we’ll walk you through the steps to fix your UltraGlide system when it detaches from the brake activator.
First, remove the shade from the brackets. Then you’ll remove the hood with a small phillips head screwdriver. Carefully insert the cord back into the activator track. You may need to use a small tool like a paperclip to help thread it in. Replace the hood and reinstall the shade. After it’s reattached, the wand should function normally with smooth up and down motion. Always operate with slow, controlled movements to avoid dislodging the cord in the future.
And that’s it! Thanks for watching and check out our other videos for more helpful tips.
