Day/Night Shade Screw/Fastener Fix Needed
As I was raising (carefully, carefully, as always) the day part of a day/night shade in our bedroom, all of a sudden both parts of that shade came sliding down. For a second, I thought the shade string had broken, but instead, the screw holding the clear plastic spool to the wall at the bottom of the shade had pulled out.
What should be an easy fix turned out not to be so easy. The screw hole had disintegrated so much that 2 or 3 screws could easily fit into it. I tried, with Gorilla Glue and a couple of matchsticks, to fix the hole, but the glue and matchsticks just fall into the wall space and won't hold the screw.
I need fix-it suggestions. We are taking the trailer to the dealership in another couple of weeks for some minor repairs, but I'd like to be able to use my shade in the meantime, and I also need to get the shade anchored so that it isn't damaged as we drive down the road.
