Jwolff55: Ours didn't come down that low and still did the job. They were the first thing we did at every stay. We absolutely loved them - kept out a lot of heat and added privacy even though they didn't come down as low as yours. As we walked campgrounds and viewed others who used them, we found the eye goes directly to the awning and doesn't concentrate on the window itself so unless someone is standing there really staring into the window part, we had privacy. We rarely used our big awning but always the window ones.
