These instructions cover two types of Mini Blinds, as shown in the Style A (left column) and Style B (right column). Refer to the photographs that best fit your blind.

1. Remove headrail end stiffener from wand tilt end.
2. Remove C-clamp from in between drum and side of rod support. The clamp keeps tilt rod from moving from side to side. There are no C-clamps in Style B. Instead, remove tilt rod support ladder clamps from tilt rod.
3. Slide tilt rod from wand tilter. For Style B the tilt rod needs to be removed completely.
4. Spread headrail apart at wand tilt location and remove wand tilt. Style B is smaller and will not spread as easily. Grab wand tilter with pliers and twist to one side and then remove wand tilter from headrail.
5. The new wand tilt will have a lip on front and this will fit into opening. Style B will not have a lip in front. Position wand tilter in place and snap into back lip of headrail.
6. Before pushing rod tilt back into wand tilter, position tab at top otherwise tilter will not thoroughly rotate.
7. Replace C-clamp. Replace ladder clamps, making sure not to twist ladder.
