I recall seeing a mention somewhere of detachable curtains or similar screens for the back side and rear windows for a wagon that were an off-the-shelf item.
I am unable to find any info now.
Anyone know about these?

Check with @threedogs he was doing something similar I believe.
I had idea where I cut some black flexible perspex the same shape as the cargo area windows.Quote:

The ones you're after are made from reflective silver material. from memory there is a thread
, where they have CAD drawings in PDF of the shape required. Then these are ones that go on
the outside to prevent rock strikes whilst towing. Maybe have a search and see what you come up with.
OK thanks. Been searching but couldn't find anything.
I am looking for internal covers to save making curtains. And there is no easy way to fix curtains either - I was thinking suction cups with dowel top and bottom - not great but probably workable.

try that mate
Walk into officeworks buy some corriboard (you choose the color) for peanuts, cut to shape of inside windows, but slightly larger to overlap trims. Install on windows, and tuck edges under trims.
Thanks Stropp - that is what I saw but couldn't remember where.
And never thought about the corriboard idea either, Hodge.
Will now re-look at the possibilities.
I got some insulation from Bunnings a while back, it looks like double sided reflective bubble wrap, similar to the stuff some of the windscreen sunshades are made of. Used duct tape on the cut edges to make it neater.

You may find if you make it tooo neat it wont breathe,,,,
as in the air in between gets hotter and the material will
billow out simple corri board would work with suction cups
Size you need is roughly 450mm x 350mm then start trimming to suit.
I used the same stuff I reckon. It is garage door insulation. I got it on chuck out for $20 the roll.Quote:

Yes I built a shed couple of years ago and had exactly the same stuff fitted as roof insulation. I scored half a roll and intend to make some the same.Quote:

Its jammed under the trim. Just slots in there and stays put.

No need for suction cups John. Just remove the trim around the window, cut the corri board to the shape of the window and put the trim back on. Mines been on there for about two years and hasn't gone out of shape at all.Quote:

I tried all this over 20yrs ago, now all I have is LIMO tint and it works a treat
That silver foil is not very UV friendly either Ive found
I cant say for the silver foil as I dont use that, I used the black corri board from Office works. It hasn't changed shape at all. IMO the black looks better if your windows are tinted.Quote:

You see it on tradie vans and buses with some advertising on it. I will be applying it to the inside of the windows
looks similar to the link

We had the "one way" signage on the work van, thought about it for the side windows on the Patrol.Quote:

I would think that being black might actually increase the inside temperature? The stuff you see on company vehicles with logos etc is called one-way-vision and is a digital print media that comes in white, has a self adhesive back and is stuck on from the outside. The majority of the time is has an over laminate applied that protects from uv, weather and damage. If it has no laminate and gets rained on then the water sits in the perforations and makes it near impossible to see through.
Another thing to remember is that one-way vision material works like Venetian blinds on a house; walk past in the day and you can't see in, walk past at night (with the house lights on) and you can see in perfectly but they can't see out.
People ask about it for putting on campers etc and i tell them that there'll be no privacy at night with a light on inside...

As I stated earlier Ive used this on my other 4x4 about 15 yrs ago now,
I found it worked well, I fitted it to the inside, Privacy was only for around the burbs.
At camp camped under some shade with the windows cracked about 50mm,
I found the fridge [battery] last longer
