These can be a right pain, mine proved impossible to just press in due to corrosion (although only a small amount)
In the end I adapted a pair of pliers by grinding the teeth from the hollowed...

403 blinds
Hi Stefano,
Just read your request, have you found some replacement blinds yet?
If not, I think I may have some stowed away in my loft and will mount a search if you still need some.
