That's an extremely Green area?
all I know it going home from Redwoods thru Oregon it was super Green.
I had a hiker classmate from Portland that compared Oregon to Verdant Microsoft Screensavers- Ever since then I've been intrigued.

that first is about 'the barrens' as it gets. almost scary


RE: Nelson - GypsyDogs - 07-13-2018

it begins..... (and keep the back cooler in the heat/sun)  (don't really use those windows when driving anyway)

will add darkening fabric.. for camping 

   

and of course, I was working on our ride.. so - deddog
   

Miss Knezz  was over under the tree, in the shade..


RE: Nelson - GypsyDogs - 07-13-2018

Testing a theory..  and used auto-body method to spray adhesive onto the 2 surfaces..
   

   

then.. as I couldn't find a better way.. I then sewed the wrap around edges... (pics to follow later.. gotta get ready for my 'real-job')


RE: Nelson - GypsyDogs - 07-14-2018

ok... the little rear-wing windows (with fabric covers over the Rfx edge) do not have enough traction to stay in place with front windows open..

Going to try a few ideas and see which one works best..
a:  paint some rubber rug backing on the edges
b:  whip stitch on some of the rubber shelf liner (same idea as above, but more 'fluffy')
c:  ... I know adhesive velcro is a no go- due to window heat..but maybe sew fuzzy side to covers and use small bits of hook on the glass adhered with Actual Superglue? (can always razor it off later)

I'm thinking to start at C

Will test and advise.  lol


(ps: already typing with the injured finger- proof knife was Hella-Sharp.. wound was molecular.. not rending.. lol)

The front windshield of are RV came with a heavy vinyl cover that is held on with REALLY heavy duty Velcro. The Velcro is screwed in. I can take pics if interested

Here is something out of left field.  

There are mirror clips designed to hold glass to walls. Cut some Luan to cover the windows and hold it down with the clips. It can be removed if you change your mind.
