magne sun shades
Does anyone have any experience with the Magne windshield and side window sun shades? I am considering purchasing one of their new products called the flip shade. It is an interior shade for pass...

Cbones,
The door shade you mention, are magnets are permanently attached to the outside of your coach window? Or, are they on the inside like the front shade?
According to the installation video when putting up the side window shades, no mention of the door window shade was made, the stationary/permanent magnets have to be attached to the outside. I'm not quite sure why though.
On the front screen the permanent magnets are on the inside so they, to my thinking, would not look like large glops of bird poop, right? Yet, if they, like the side window permanent magnets, are on the outside of the coach wouldn't that look kind of odd?
The video for the flip shade really is un-informative on how the shades attach. Only that they are new and hang on the inside.
I agree that so far the customer service has been exceptional from the folks at Magne.
Is your front window screen a solid color or did you opt for a picture?
Thanks for the insight.
The door window shade has the magnets on the outside. I am not sure why he elected to do it that way. The only reason I can think of is that it allows for smaller magnets, hence lower cost. The magnets are black in color, and unless you really look for them, they are not that noticeable. One other small issue is that by putting the magnets on the outside, it allows the positioning to be to the extreme edge of the frame, whereas on the inside, depending on how the door is finished, you may not be able to get the magnets to the edges of the frame. I hate to say it, but if I were to do it again, I think I would forego the door screen, and just install another MCD manual shade on the inside. Then my wife would be able to control the sunlight that always seems to come through the door when driving. The drawback would be that when the shade is down when parked, entry and exit is a bit impaired by the screen, whereas when it is on the door, it is out of the way.
My shade is the solid black which Roger agrees is the most popular and best at controlling the sun.
