Re: Rear Window Shade Reply #1 – November 30, 2011, 08:08:25 pm Yahoo Message Number: 127023It's the new style blind that the factory has been using in the rear window for a couple of years. I don't know any more about it than that, but I'm sure others can fill in the details.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

Re: Rear Window Shade Reply #3 – November 30, 2011, 08:33:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 127025We had that new style window shade installed in our 2006 MB about 2 years ago at the Mothership. The total cost at that time was $400...most of which went into labor. We were then and are now very pleased with this shade. We were cautioned by Vince to not use this as a 24/7 shade because it's paper and would eventually succumb to sun rot if used to shade from sun.TinaP 2006 MB Currently sunning in Las Cruces, NM[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

The only caveat is that you can't leave the blinds pulled together for a long time or the pleats will lose their shape. Otherwise, it really is great.Martha in Santa Fe[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

The shades look very nice and work fairly well. I enhance their effectiveness sometimes with the silver windshield shades between them and the glass. One caveat is that they are impossible to fold back into the bracket neatly without touching the shade itself. Hence, clean hands are an asset. Linda Allen 2008 31' TB

We have them in our 05RK. Clean hands a must because it does require some manual help to close so the folks will remain lined up. That said we like them.David 2005 26'RK
