Day shade tips?

Hi,

I have a 2011 Aerolite 215BHKS. DW and I bought it used and the shades were messed up so they installed one new one and then had to order the 2nd one so we put it in ourselves. Of course, that one appears crooked when the shade is pulled down. I've attached some pics, you can see the shade is straight (the bottom of it is straight) but the pleats are crooked. Any tips on how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Check the tension of the line that the shade slides on. Perhaps put some tension on the line that is on the high side. If that straightens it then you need to move the knot on one or the other to increase or decrease tension. I have had problems with my shades being to hard to raise/lower. Or they would fall if the line was not taught enough.
