    Of all the DIY blackout window covers, yours is the best. Simple and to the point. I just wanted a custom-fit reflector shade or sun blocker for my car, and someone recommended Reflectix. I bought a giant roll enough for all the windows in my vehicle for $44 from Lowes. Then, after shopping, I relax at the house to find your video before I start to make my first cut. Thank you. You are awesome!

    The reflectix can just be cut approximate, then put into window area and use tip of finger to trace around. It will leave a groove you can cut around. It works well and is faster.

    We made these exact ones for our 2015 Prius. We sleep in the back. We love it because we just get up & go! We just never light candles in it. We have cool solar lanterns that we use.

    Nice video. I watched another how to video and used spray adhesive to put fabric on my reflectix. What a mess! I do like the idea of hiding the silver reflectix. I would suggest making the pieces larger than window so you can jam them in place. If they are exact fit they will fall down/out. I might have to use Velcro as an additional holding mechanism. There has to be a cheaper way to do this with better results. I'm halfway to painting the windows.

    I would put black duct tape on them so that they would blacken out the windows and wouldn’t look so suspish

  • @gracechase5574

    you should get some black felt material to put on the window side of the reflective. that way the windows will just look tinted and not windows with silver shades. it will be much more stealth

    Did you keep your back seats or have them taken out. I'm debating on at least one out and using the other as a place to sit while having a bed on the other side. Love the simple set up

    @polosavage1 Рік тому +1

    I don't think that's very stealthy using super shiny reflective material facing the outside, that makes it look super obvious than someone sleeping in there you should definitely cover it with black poster board or something to give it the look of window tint

    Reflectix breaks down and will no longer fit in about 6 months of daily use.

    How long did they stay up for before they crimple and fall down? or how many uses or nights sleep in the car did you get before they started to fall down off the windows?

    • @SarahLeeVlogs
      @SarahLeeVlogs  2 роки тому +7

      Cut this cover slightly larger(quarter inch) than the window size. You put it in the gap, the cover won't fall down.
