Looking very tidy :happy2:. Do you have to buy the whole set? (I would probably only want the rear window blind).

Am also interested in the draft excluders (waiting for VC's pics).

Title: Re: Window Blinds Installed..
Post by: Norbreck21a on July 09, 2009, 08:24:43 am: Phil,

Quick question, when the rear windows are lowered, do the blinds lower with them or are they fitted to the metal aperture of the window frame ?
Title: Re: Window Blinds Installed..
Post by: Hedge on July 09, 2009, 10:04:56 am: They fit inside the door frame so stay out when the window is lowered.

don't quite see how they fit though and how they don't get blown off when the windows are down etc.
