BLIND MOUNTING APPARATUS AND METHOD

Aspects of the present invention relate to a mounting assembly (1-n) for mounting a blind cassette (3) operative to dispense a blind (29) along a guide rail (35-n) disposed in a roof structure (13) of a vehicle (5). The mounting assembly (1-n) includes a mount (45-n) for mounting the blind cassette (3) to the vehicle (5); and a slide carrier (47-n) having a carrier section (67-n) for alignment with the guide rail (35-n). The slide carrier (47-n) is moveable relative to the mount (45-n) to facilitate alignment of the carrier section (67-n) with the guide rail (35-n). The mount (45-n) is configured to receive at least one cassette mounting fastener (41-n) configured to fasten the mount (45-n) to the roof structure (13) of the vehicle (5). Aspects of the present invention also relate to a vehicle (5); and a method of mounting a blind cassette (3) to a vehicle structure (9).
