I bought a 10 pack of 3/8" rare earth magnets from Harbor freight, but way too small to do the job. Searched and saw a couple posts from a fellow DIYer who got his magnets from Amazon but didn't recall exactly which ones.. :h
Looked on Amazon, 30 plus pages of rare earth magnets, ranging from the little one I bought to industrial types with 200 pounds of force?
I'd like to do the windshield with 5, corners and a top middle. Magnets glued to the inside of the windshield. And hooks on the fabric so I can install them from the ground with an awning rod.
Other windows the magnets will glue to the frames, on the outside. The little ones I have may work there?
Any good guess or real experience on how many pound force magnets it will take to pull thru the windshield and hold that sunscreen on?
It is important to use nickel plated magnets on the exterior or they will rust. I used grade N52, they are the most powerful.
I purchased mine from kj magnetics.
