I like the "darkness" afforded by my current day/night shades in my '06 Alfa See Ya Gold. They depend on the strings that eventually fail because of the constant up and down movement frays one string to the failing point.
One did fail after nine years, so my wife and I did the replacement procedure. This required some patience and logic as the strings are, on first appearance, illogically strung. But it all worked out.
So, eventually there will be more failures and I would look to something that could replace all eight of our day/night shades...just for decorative purposes of course, but need that "darkness" our current shades provide. "Just" aluminum slats won't do it.
