I have the same alpha tubular motor but mine will not just easily pull out like yours. Only thing that looks different is that my roller shade is 9 ft long. But I have tried everything I can think of to get the motor out and it will not budge. Is there something else I need to do? Maybe the size makes a difference? Any help would be appreciated.
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing, Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy to help.

Nevermind figured it out. For some reason after unwinding the entire shade it had 6 screws drilled into the plastic part at the end.
Glad you figured it out. Yeah, every manufacturer has their own style of building the shades. Creativity is the key to fixing things.
Is there a way to just replace the battery?
Not with this system. It is all integrated.
I wonder are different motors interchangeable?
Absolutely, but you may need to get a new crown and drive. Those are the parts that attach to the motors and make them work with the tube and motor.
