Window Shade Pull
 

The pull on my rear window in my Town Sedan broke today. Does anyone know where I can find one. Seems the vendors want to sell you the whole shade...

Or any suggestions how I can repair it. I'm not good with needle and thread...

I did find some at Micheal's that look similar but no brown.

Not a show car.

Miz Diane made several for me a few months ago, color matched to the car. They're very easy to make. She used cross-stitch floss, which is available in a wide variety of colors.

I think she found a youtube video showing how to do it. I'll ask her.

Many offerings in both style and color choices. Google is your friend.

Just tie the loose end to the captive end!

I can find plenty of shades with tassels, but not the tassel itself. I must be looking in the wrong place...

If you had to you could easily die 1 of those lighter colors into dark brown.

This is the video link that Miz Diane used to make my color-coordinated tassels.

Just about any "craft" store ("Hobby-Lobby", here) will have scores of colors to choose from. She matched the tan of my interior plus the Apple Green accent color of my wheels and pinstripe.

Dude! That is awesome! I think I could even do that. Make sure you thank Miz Diane for me.

If you do have a light colored tassle,dunk it into a cup of black coffee,then let it dry.Repeat with a stronger brew if needed.

Re: Window Shade Pull
 

All good ideas. I think I want to try making my own. I just ordered some "Dark Coffee Brown" Embroidery Floss from Amazon. I will try it out when we get back, getting ready to leave for the CCRG Jamboree this weekend.

Y-Blockhead, have fun at the CCRG, Bakersfield was a little too far us this year, hopefully next year will be closer. Next week we are off the Lake County A's annual Spring Opener in Lakeport.

Re: Window Shade Pull
 

Even I think I can do that!

I showed her your post. She actually giggled.

She made a few combinations for me to pick thru. I ended up using the tan with the green accent whipping. See attached.

Herb, a few of our club members are going to Lake County Spring Opener from the CCRG Jamboree. Making a long week of it!

Re: Window Shade Pull
 

Warning: dad joke.

An old sailor trick, to make the wippings neat and tidy, is to cut off the ends and throw them away.

Re: Window Shade Pull
 

Trapdoor, thank Miz Diane again for me. I actually made a tassel. Worked out pretty good.
