Heatshield window coverings

[Wes Harden]

I purchased a set of Heatshield brand window shades, for my burb spring of 19.
I got every window less windshield.
They fit pretty well. Each pair roll up, with attached Velcro tie, for storage.
1st I noticed when it was cold, below 40* they wouldn't stick. I would come out to truck and find them loose or fallen off.
I the hot sun they do make a difference. All windows covered, boat launch parking lot, no shade, high temp 118*. Inside temp would normally be 140*, infared showed 125*, A/C was able to get the interior comfortable before we had boat out of water.
They are great for camping, and sleeping in the rig to. Just enough light to let you know it's morning, not mention insulation for snow camping.
Here it is @ 3 years and suction cups are giving up. Some I can't get to stick at all. Time to change them.

I found some suction cups on Amazon I thought would work better than the originals.
I bought a few and did 1 window shade.
Drove to Colorado, camped, came home, went to Phoenix, never had to mess with that window(pass rear door) the whole time. I did remove it in Phoenix so my Grand daughter and daughter would be able to see out those windows.
Went right back in and has stayed another week plus w/o resticking it.
So I ordered 18 more suction cups.

Below is how to, at least my way.

1st pop the plastic retainer from old cups, and remove cups.
2nd I made the hole bigger using an arbor punch.
3rd install a 1/4" id brass gromet.
4th install suction cups.
