I've had two break. Both broke while pulling the shades down in sub-freezing weather. Now, like others on here, I pull them down from the center. Now at least, thanks to this stream, I know where to buy replacements.

I have replaced broken string with a stainless steel wire. See the post about 3/4 the way down the page:
