New Solar Windshield Shades
#1

                While at MCC resort we got our coach outfited with Solar Fabric Shade for our windshield and side front windoows.
It turned out great ! and most important it works , cuts 95 % UV and it reduces how much heat gets in to your coach via front winshield.

The fabric they used is newer thicker and more webbier tehnology! you can still see out and that is nice!

it took about 2,5 hrs to fabicate and they put it on your winshield durring the hottest time of the day , so the fabric streatch due to the heat on the windhield.
I aksed then why they dont raund off the corners for nicer more stylish look.
They said that when others do they use velcro style corner and that tandancy to live wrinkles on teh shade over the time! SolBrella Cover Designs use 3 snaps on the top and two only on the bottom for the main windshield section, very easy to set it up ! need ladder and one person can do it! they have 3 years waranty on their product , also they made two wipers covers.
Not cheap for total of 3 covers : windshield & two side windows will set you back $450 but results are worth the money!

We tested on the same hot day running 2 AC unit and we got down some 10-15F inside the coach ! its good investemnent if you stay in sunny spot for lonf periods, as we did full month facing sun!! alos it will make your AC running not as hard as with out the shade.

I took few images.
