windshield cover

We're trying to find a windshield/side window cover for our 79 dodge van front. Most places we tried either said they don' t make them or didn't know what we were talking about. Any one know where we might get one.

Thanks in advance
  • I bought one and its a PIA to use and carry. Leave it and tire covers home when we go any place. I got a cheap sunshade and put good rubber suckers in in place of the originals. Easy to put up once settled in, gives good privacy coverage. For the side windows got another cut it in 1/2 placed some of the good suckers on it and they fit the side windows and block out everything. Not worried about looking out front or side windows and if I want to can just pull down and replace them. Nice thing is everything folds up and does not take up space and is light. Wife is basically in charge of the side windows, I get to do the front. Works well when we park the rig for the winter also. We have $1 stores that sell these for about $2.50 each, some are cheaper at the.99cent stores.
  • I had mine made by Fancher's in Ypsilanti Michigan for my 2009 info@fanchers.com

    send them an e mail on what you have. great selection on colors and quality is great. Not as heavy as the other ones, good magnets also.
  • Hopefully you can find one on Amazon etc.
    You can always go to a auto fabricator shop and have one made.

    Not sure what brand we have ? bought it off Craigslist...
    It slips over each top corner of the doors with magnets sewn into the bottom corners and wraps around the windshield covering like Happynow described ...
  • Suggest you check Amazon.
    We ordered one for our newer RV,we chose "Over Drive" brand.Works well, we like the features.

    While searching, I saw different brands and styles including some for older units.Ours covers the windshield and both driver and passenger windows. Even has correct placement of cut out to go around side mirrors.
    Good luck.
