You can use duct tape around the edges, folding in half longways to use to cover all gaps, because all those gaps will show up like a flare when you are in the dark and turn on a light inside the vehicle. When you do it that way it also acts as a "Pulltab" to pull the covers off the windows, but you definitely want all those gaps completely sealed so no light shows in, that way no light will show out and you will remain completely unseen at night. It will save you from an unwanted knock in the middle of the night!
Great idea!
So many other videos don’t show how you get the shape to fit. They just say, “cut.” Thank you so much. I struggled with getting the shape to fit my windows.
I made these for our Prius. I made patterns from newspaper then traced & cut. We love them.
Thanks man been wondering how to do this and gonna start living my car
I've been mulling over how to do this for a while. Your video comes at just the right time. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Was wondering about black tape. Glad it`s working for you. Great video.
I was really considering ordering a premade set for my car, but you made this look so easy that I'm going to give it a try.
Respect to Host and Channel 👍✌️🇨🇦
I think I would use a sheet of 3/8" black foam or cardboard spray painted black on one side. The black foam is easy to cut slightly over size so it conforms to the shape of the window but oversize will help it to stay put within the window frames. Either would be cheap to make, easy to replace and store. Simplify whatever works best for your car windows.
Thanks for the instructive video!
I made mine the same
Larger cut w FRESH razor knife into indention
Is easier
You're half way there
If u have 5% window tint
At night a car can get then to reflect driving past
Soooo
Get the $3 flat black from Home Depot and spray paint the outside facing sides
Now Noone can decide
Hey there is someone car camping !
Now your stealth and insulated
Great video Nathen. Just what I was looking for. Thanks
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it! 8 months later and they still work great!
Good video. You make it look easy.

Ive seen camper van guy whos a nurse living in his vehicles use foil insulation from any hardware store.
Ive used duct tape and cheap dollar tree place mats on some of my windows.the drivers side. And the passenger side i have a shower curtain that runs across the length of my windows.
Back window i use a sun shade. To block the front off i have another shower curtain to run across on a bungie cord. Hope it helps. Fyi you should be abel to cut that foil to fit right in without tape. Or buy some suction cups & poke a hole in the material just big enough for the suction cup to fit & stick
Wish you all well hope this helps Repent Because God Loves You All. Learn Who He Is And You Can Learn Who You Are & Become Equal With Him. Be Safe
Any photos of your curtains
@@samtx phn so rigged by God not Abel to post any. Lol
my way of trying to do it with a marker was so much harder than this lol. thank you
Thanks I like your way to do the window covers.
The black tape, is it black duct tape, plastic electrical tape, or paper masking tape?
Black duct tape
Wouldn't this block airflow on the side windows if you keep them open slightly overnight to improve circulation and minimize condensation buildup?
You can run a cut sideways and run a piece of duct tape on both sides to act as a flap to fold down if you want to roll window down even with your ventshades! Works great!
This is a great idea!
This is the easiest one I’ve seen.
Making a template out of plastic first is easier.
Thank you,but is it necessary to put all the duck tape on there?
Nope! I did it so it would appear dark inside or I have heavily tinted windows.
@@NomadicNathen 😊 thanks
Ah if you just put your visors up should be all good on the windshield
That is exactly what I do and it works great!
The tape is clutch
8 months in and they are still working great!
