How ironic that this topic /problem came up. We have 2 MCD shades that don't go up fast or hardly at all w/o some assistance. So this past Sat, I figured I'd see if I can get the table shade to work better being that it's smaller (other one is behind couch). RVFun, you have to push back the release tab on valance side of the shade just like you would for mini blinds in stick house. So once I got mine off, found the speed adjust end and turned few times. Several tries later, finally got it so it would go up by itself albeit a lil on the slow side. So figured a couple more turns of the screw and should be good to go. Should have left it where it was. Upon trying to do last adjustment on screw, it somehow became disengaged and now have the same result as RVFun. Shade is down and won't go back up. Despite removing it, rolling it up by hand, re-installing it, now it's like it won't budge. Giving a good tug on it and it unrolled fully. Grrrrr........
