window shades

I've found a great (and cheaper) alternative to the OEM custom window blinds - they're called windowsox and are really quick to fit. Highly recommended to those of you without the privacy glass!

not that I've noticed, (and that's upto about 90). They're a really tight fit, tailored to the shape of the windows. They fasten down at one side with velcro, but I haven't needed to use the velcro on the other side. The good thing is, you can leave the window down and no bugs can get in.

I was a bit sceptical at first, but they really do the trick and keep the back of the car very shady for the kids.

The good thing about them is you can have the windows open unlike the stick on things that normally have a dogs face printed on them Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I guess it also makes it more difficult to brake in by smashing the glass as even if the glass is broken you'll still have to cut through the material? In an accident they will keep the glass in one place.
Not a bad ideea. Probably cheaper than the security glass.

I would imagine that you risk scratching the paint or black transfers on the window surround with rings/wrist watches or other jewellery every time you put them on the car or remove them..................... How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
