SolarScreen AU curtains

[Jason YY]

Bought a set of these, after seeing them on YouTube. Probably not the only one who has been watching the Inskip Point videos that lead into a whole bunch of off-road product envy for Made in Australia
Patience was a key, 7 weeks to get them, a little over 200.00 US to my door with tracking updates.
Going to order a set for my 80 as well, out of the package I give it 5 ️

I want wth the Touting set , 5 panels suction cup mount to glass, easy to install. There might be a little clearance issue with the power vent windows on my LX. Haven’t messed with it as of yet.

I am thinking this will help keep the interior cool, on long road trips. As well as help fridge, and eventually reduce drain on the second battery/ solar system. Neither of which I have installed at this time.

I cheeped out and went with heatshields, they are doing the trick but If I could do it all again I would go with these.

these look solid. do you have your back windows tinted? do you think there would be any issue if they were tinted i.e. pulling the tint off or something. i doubt it would be figured id ask. do they just suction cup onto the windows?

They look neat, but I am super cautious about suction cups on window tint.

I keep my suction cups on full time on the rear window and side panels.When they do come off for cleaning there is no issues with the tints.

Maybe in some hotter areas of aftermarket tints could be an issue, but there isn't much suction power with these little cups.

Yeah, I'm Central Texas and we knock out 100 degree days with intense sun sometimes 40 to even 70 days in a row. My rig is too tall to fit in the garage, so it's outside all the time. Been trying to figure out a solution that won't harm the expensive ceramic tint I have. These look awesome. Might see I can figure out a solution that bypasses the cups and maybe uses small bungees to corresponding tabs mounted in the trim panels.

Update- we drove 800 miles with the screens installed, was able to run the AC on max cold with the lowest fan in 95 + weather very comfortable. Seems like they work exactly as advertised.

I will say, I wish I had bought the complete set that included the windshield and front doors.

I have factory tint, I am not concerned about the suction cups.

Thanks for order number! I am getting my windows tinted soon I'll start thrtr and maybe add these for camping. The tint guy I'm using did caution against cups but it's probably a ymmv situation.

I am not particularly worried about fit, however I can see that some might not like how these vent window covers look. Could be the AU models are different? I have a LX with power rear vent windows.
(Most of the time I have so much gear it won’t be seen)

Just want to point out that it looks a little off, I tried opening the window and installing it with a second person that may work perfectly?
By myself , I was unable to keep it from interfering with the seal.
I didn’t specify I had a LX 470, Could be slight differences either from the LC to the LX or just differences from the NA models to the AU.
Trying to point out the only issue so anyone else buying, knows in advance.
