I was happy with my window awnings on our little camping trip last weekend, but I'm still not as happy as I could be with how I'm keeping them on. The hinge across the top of the window is full length, so I couldn't use those corners to help hold the awning on. I did sew on a small piece of elastic with a bra-clip which I slip around the arm that opens the window, to help hold it up, but mostly so if it blows off it won't blow away. I sewed pockets into the lower edge to help hold it on.
Shari, how do you plan to rivit snaps to the window frame? I assume there's glass under the edge of the frame.
Also, if they snap onto the outside, do you still have to take them off to close the windows at night?
All in all, it's been fun experimenting with them. I wish I'd had a sewing machine, so the seams had come out a little straighter, but they look fine as is. And for now the rubber hose clips are holding them on ok, but they get quite soft in the sun, so I wouldn't bet on them holding up in a good wind. So I'm kind of looking around for something better to hold them up.
