Can you swap the crimped slat with one of the other slats or is the groove too tight for the male side of another slat? Or you may be able to work in the metal slat where the cloth can't...
I had a similar issue when I pulled mine apart last week. Someone crimped the last slat with the fabric every foot or so with plyers and TIGHT. I had to use a flat blade screwdriver to open them up to get the cloth out. Many of the places it was crimped, the aluminum had given away and cracked. What I am going to do is use this damaged slat as a middle slat and use one of the good slats for the fabric since the majority of the damaged slat is fine. I figure the cloth would pull out of the breaks but the other slats would hold fine since they are stiff.
