Just finished installing the snaps and got the cover on.

Fits great, the color works with my paint scheme. It is called "Toast"

This cover is just going to be used as a UV cover when the coach is in the driveway, got the lightest bit of fog showing in a few spots on the edge of the windshield glass and am going to do what I can to minimize its growth.

Any upholstery shop worth its salt can make one to fit and install the snaps to match.

Lighter color is better. I selected silver perforated for my Carver cabin cruiser. Lets you see out from the inside but still blocks 90% or more of the UV, heat, and light.

As Carl has pointed out at the link below Guske make covers for both the front and back windows. They have been making them for 20+ years and they are not over priced and they really cut the heat load down into the coach and they will last a lifetime. I have had them on all my coaches since we got our first coach in 1998. This is a first class product.

I was limited in my color or fabric choices...... this was it. This is the fabric we use at work for all of the canvas on our Ranger Tugs. www.rangertugs.com/

And..........It was free, all I had to do was borrow the snap pliers and install the snaps on the cover to line up with the buttons already installed on the coach when I bought it.

I probably would have gone a different way if I had to pay for it, but then again this is only going to be used as a "Storage" cover.

When we are camping we just close the curtains around the windshield.
