Side Window Solar Screens

[ljhl]

I am considering a set of solar screens to cover the windows beside the driver seat, the entry door glass, and the window behind the entry door. Would those of you who have such screens tell me how they are attached to the windows? Thanks!

While in Quartz site for the first time last year we had shades made for all the windows. I had a windshield one that was original to our 96 coach which we replaced also. Ours are black solar shades which mount with the small turn levers. Obviously this mounting method is not for everyone since it requires drilling into the motorhome.....since my previous shade was mounted this way I chose to do it the same way. I don't put them all on all the time unless we're staying at a park for a week or more and the outside temps require it. It makes a big difference in side the mh.

To clarify, I'm referring to outside sun shades made from the same type material that is used for the windshield sun shade. I have a Prompt sun screen for my windshield, just thinking about a DIY project for the side windows.

As others have said, not sure exactly what you mean by your "solar shades". We have screen shades that pull down, made by MCD. Those rollers are held into brackets by spring clips.

I assume you're talking about inside shades not outside. Inside are normally held on by screwed in brackets then you snap the shade header into them. In some case they are/can be screwed through the header bar into the valance.

We have sun shades on our windows - not sure if solar shades are the same thing, Our sun screens are made by Magne Shade and we are very happy with them. They go on with heavy duty magnets - very quick to put on and take off - nice tight fit so they look good No ladder required - great product in our opinion.
