Les Medes Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Ever since Heki's were first fitted to caravans it seems many years ago, on every van we have owned we have had pin holes in the same spot, can someone enlighten me, what causes the pin holes and why do they occur in exactly the same position on every van. We have been very cautious on how we close the Heki, someone has commented when watching me close it he reckoned "I had a touch like a midwife" Has anyone any thoughts on this phenomenon Les Quote Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Pin holes in the blind, put up with it, have you seen the cost of new ones. Pin holes in the actual window mmmm. Mine are 10 years old and are like new. Quote Land Rover Discovery and Conquerer 630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WispMan Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 As an aside about the Heki central front large window that most vans have. As I lie in bed, I see the instruction label written (I assume), in 4 languages. Written in tiny, and I mean tiny, writing. I cannot read it. Should I buy some powerful binocs and then lie in bed to read them? Will I learn something new about them? Or will it say "Don't look out of this window and gurn at your neighbours!" Will someone with lots of time and patience on their hands, please find out and report back to me. I am on tenterhooks waiting. .......

matelodave Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Les are you talking about the window or the roller blind? It's amazing what conclusions can be made when there's a lack of clarity.

dreadly Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 If trying to get rid of those annoying little pin holes in the roof blinds then I find that a small pot of Tamiya model paint in silver makes an excellent and invisible touch up method. http://www. ebay. co. uk/itm/Tamiya-10ml-Paint-X-1-X-35-/231153659311?pt=UK_ToysGames_ModelKits_ModelKits_JN&var=530362537892&hash=item35d1d4edaf Quote An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
