Mini blinds typically have 1" slats and require a mounting clearance of about 1.5" because of the headrail and headrail brackets. However, there are the so called micro blinds which have 1/2" slats with a 3/4" mounting and so just might work for the TM. They could possibly mount right below the valance and be wide enough to just clear the curtains on either side with the curtains opened as far as they will go. On the other hand, it might be that the curtains could overlap the blinds a little without interfering too much with opening and closing the slats. In any case, the curtains could be partially closed over the blind to contain it for towing, raising and lowering the TM. The gotcha might be that clip/handle in the middle of the window - it seems to stick out farther than anything else.
Now we just need someone to be first to try it.
