Can anyone see why this is a bad idea?
Glad to hear you called Tonya...she's great! I think that is a wonderful idea...I can't imagine why it wouldn't work! Hmmm...the only thing would be that the bottom corner pockets might have to be elastic, velcro or something different than mine, because if the top is in the rail, you couldn't get the pockets on the bottom of the windows...make sense?

Not a sketch...but pictures of mine that I made:

Window Awning details

Like I said above, yours if you do the rail would have to be a little different. I put the corners on first then snap the top, you would be loading the top first then attaching the bottom. Regardless, I still think the rails would work really well.
