2016 Interstate Grand Tour - Better solution for front night shades?

[JayP]

I installed a set of these for mine and put the stock windshield insulated pad into storage. I still use the side pads for the side windows but the ease of use for these combined with the low cost make this one of our favorite purchases.

I find the AI shades too bulky and unwieldy! I bought a foil based sunshade for the windshield, a basic extender rod (like to hang clothes) which easily clips onto the two holders, one on either side, just above and behind front cabin seats. I use windshield foil cover to deflect heat. I throw a sheet over clothes rod, for privacy. Simple solution for me.

Attached are four photos showing the curtain behind the cab seats. An easy and effective solution. Thanks for looking.

Just posted four pictures. Good suggestion.

The curtains are from Target. Called black-out curtains, two panels under $8 each plus an adjustable curtain rod. See my photos posted today, Oct 1, 2016 somewhere on this forum.

+ 1 - same here; the foil over the side windows really cuts down on the heat too!
