Repeat this step as many times as needed for desired number of brackets. With window shade in the closed position insert the back edge of the headrail into the bracket at an angle with the front edge of the headrail tilted down. Now simply push back on the honeycomb cell shade headrail gently while pushing the front edge up towards the bracket. The shade will snap into place, repeat this step for all the brackets. Carefully tug on the heads rail to make sure it is secure. The shade is now operational.

    hold down brackets for honeycomb cell shadesOptional Hold Down Brackets are mounted with the supplied screws. With the shade at its proper drop, place the pin of each Hold Down into the hole in each End Cap and mark the screw holes. Make sure the pins are level and aligned. Raise the shade, then screw the Hold Down Bracket into the mounting surface. Hold Down brackets are used on doors only. It is an option only and not required for proper operation. It will help hold the blind in place but has to be released to operate the blind up and down.

    Continuous cord cell shades and cordless cell shade install the same way, although the bracket looks a little different.
