Good video. (Too hot for sticky Velcro in hot Arizona, it "melts" off all surfaces. I use suction cups with a hook that clamps down- 4 for $1 at the dollar stores. Have to make a small hole for the hook to go thru)

Easy peasy lemon squeezy..... Good job Broski.....

For everybody bitching because the velcro prevents rolling down the windows, he installed these on windows that didn't open anyway. They were fixed windows, non-operable ones. So the velcro didn't mess with anything.

Best tutorial I’ve watched! Thanks!! 🤙🤙

Thank you so much for making this video! Wanted my kids to nap on our trip and this is a perfect way to black out our Nisan NV passenger van! It was super easy to do and you saved me a ton of money! Thanks again!

Yesterday I did a $7 DIY curtain that can easily be pulled into place within a few Seconds! It stays in place so I never have to keep taking it down & putting it back up, use up space to store it, etc. I use 2 1/4" X 5ft PEX Pipe (PVC) $2.25ea, Paracord to feed through it and secure it to the sun visor and the back seat roof handle. Snip holes about every 3-4 inch in a dark lightweight $2 tshirt fabric from Walmart. 1 Clip for each of the front seat ceiling handles to support the PVC and fabric. A pieces of Velcro on the dashboard. This will allow you to have one long piece of fabric that can easily slide into place & gather up next to the seat or even better yet, behind the headrest so that you can still have complete visibility in the blind-spot & your back seat can stay hidden 24/7! The fabric I used is dark enough where people can't see in but I can still see out.0

Absolutely the best video on this subject out there!🙏🙏🙏

THANK YOU! This is the simplest DIY video for window covers that I've seen. I'm not crafty in the least, but I think I can actually do this!

I made sure to put the “hook” part of the velcro was on the window so that the shades (reflectix) does accumulate lint & other stuff when stored (off the window).

glad there are so many videos for this, slept in my car for the first time at a rest stop and felt totally naked with all my windows uncovered!

I did something similar with Velcro and window screening. Bought a roll of replacement window screen, cut to size, and attached to window. Instant bug screens for when I need ventilation. My reflectix fits right over it. Love it!

Thank you!! This is the easiest way and quickest, not to mention CHEAPEST way to make window covers that I've seen yet!! I may tweak it to my liking but love the video!! ❤️

Thank you my friend. I'm not a full van-lifer (yet), but I am converting my little Honda Fit into something that I can use to stealth camp with on an extended road trip across the country. Thanks for the help!

Hey man. I just did this for my mini van and it worked perfect. I didn't have to use Velcro either. Thank you so much for the ideas. Safe travels brother!

Instead of the bare reflectix against the glass, put a layer of black fabric so it looks like the window is just blacked out.

Sticking the velcro together before you cut it is also a good one. This guy is smart.

Dude you saved money it's so good I would have bought it from you👍🏼Good job thanks for idea

I will say, that is an easy way to make those, though, for stealth, I would use black fabric on one side. That pertains more if you are car camping/living and have to park stealthy in public spaces.

I did this with our van last October before our four week, 7.500 mile camping trip around the country. The velcro squares on the glass idea worked ok at first (on our non-roll-down side and rear windows), but even in October the sun beating down from the outside soon melted the glue holding the velcro squares to the glass and they started just pulling off with the reflective screen. I had brought the roll of velcro along just in case I had to replace any along the way, and at first I replaced the tabs as they stopped sticking to the glass, but by about mid trip I gave up. From that point on we just wedged the shades in the window openings as best as possible (some held ok, some did not). I experimented with sticking the velcro tabs to the inside plastic frame of the window instead of the glass wherever possible, but the texture of the plastic interior trim prevented the velcro from sticking for very long. I was surfing for better window shade ideas before our next camping trip when I came across this video. Cutting your own reflective shades works well, the velcro tab part is the weak link especially from spring to fall when the sun is more direct.

You just saved me from spending almost $1,500 on "professionally" made window shades. Yeah, they are not quite as sexy but man, there are a lot of other things much more important that I need on my van (like upgraded suspension). Actually, it looks like the ones you made are a tighter fit than the ones that attach with magnets. Thanks! Safe travels.

the "77" series spray glue will separate after being in the heat for days. use the "90" series glue or the spray glue for headliners for high heat applications. or a sewing machine.

Thanks for the great idea. I'll be making some for my car. I'm using it for the back seat when the baby is in the car. I love the fact that it is removable because it causes a huge blind spot.

Thanks for this. I would put black fabric on the side that goes against the window. That way your windows will look tinted from the outside instead of seeing the reflectix. More stealthy too. 😉

Cool idea to use the spray glue to adhere the curtains, thank you, best of luck, stay safe

Best I've seen! Straightforward, thank you. What's the music?

Absolutely the best video on this subject out there!

Brilliant idea. The stick on Velcro is inspired and the fact that they roll up even better.

I was going to buy a roof tent for €3500, think I’m just going to do this and stay on the cheap. Great solution thank you!

Nice! Thanks for taking time to record and post.

The adhesive for the velcro softens up quite a bit on hot sunny days.

Bro that is the smartest things I have ever seen so cool Im on amazon looking Window shades now I’m doing this !

Using velcro on the window like you did is good for windows that do not roll down. For a secure fit I use thin strips of oak board that I cut on my table saw to wedge as necessary.

Awesome dude! Thanks for this. Now I can spray stick my fabric instead of sewing it together.

Joanne's Fabrics (giant Micheal's type store except way better) has 5 - 6' wide rolls of fabric (even map ones) of all colors/patterns. My old blinds are falling apart. I need to do this. This was great, thanks for this cheap, effective hack!

Very nice! Simple and yet effectively done. Fits perfectly..

The only problem I’ve had with doing this is the adhesive melted after a while because of being in direct sunlight. I used indoor/outdoor industrial velcro strips and it worked great until it didn’t 😂😭 need a better solution.

I'm thinking about adding some tabs at the top to roll the window up on to hold it in place. If I need anything at the bottom I will stick it to the window trim not the window. Thanks your video gave me a lot of ideas.

We were looking for an easy way to make curtains for our truck bed camper and this is perfect! Going to grab the stuff tomorrow. Thanks 😊

often times the Velcro is stronger than the adhesive they come with

Nice share metal tent!.I have heard of just spraying them black but u added a nice touch.. happy safe trails amigo!

Just cut out a quarter inch larger and push into the gap between frame and glass. Stays put just fine.

Measure from the outside of the windows, you'll almost always get a perfect fit.

Great video

I never thought of just putting the velcro directly on the window but why not. This is a good idea.

THANKS Best yet!!

Thank you, very nice! Love the spray glue idea. Want to make some of these for my boat. Will probably possibly do blue Fabric one side beige on the other 😘💪💝

Dang it, i never thought of velcro attatchment....ive been unnecessarily suffering,thanks for idea!

Great idea. Does that reflectix material keep all sun out? Like a blackout shade!

I heard that reflectix makes it seem like there's someone sleeping in the vehicle. And some people who've tried it end up switching to just black paper to avoid being bothered

Nice work mate

Thank you so very much for an awesome info!!!

I tried this found that relfectix is awsome at reflecting light and heat. Unfortunately it's also awsome at reflecting heat and light. While the inside was darker, it wasnt kill you hot inside, but was hotter than outside even at nite. Also stayed hotter longer. Heat already inside really had no way escaping. Interesting challenges to overcome. :)

Very cool idea might just try that thanks

Thank you so much for this video!! 😃 excellent tutorial on how to make them!

Who did you beat up before this video

Thank you for making this video. It was very useful and informative

How do you make one of these for the rear windows. That window is angled & I can't even find one they sell through any stores or online. Do those even exist?

There's fairly acceptable inflatable kayaks for lakes now, to save space.

Simply. . .the best! Kind Regards

Thank you so much from Denmark

This is the best one yet

Thank you for giving me such a cool cheap idea for car window covers👍😆 They are the best!!👏

is there another item to use vs sticking/velcro to window? would prefer to not have the stickiness part remaining on windows longterm

Brilliant and quick too. Thanks from the UK.

I kind of want to put some reflectix on the exterior of the windshield to prevent the dashcam from frying.. would this work? Thanks!

Is the velcro sticking to your windows though or the frame around it? Cause if it's stuck to the glass, won't that prevent the window from coming down properly?

do you notice the velcro ever coming off of the reflectix side? Also has the fabric eventually come off the glue from folding many times?

Doing this project on my Chrysler 300. Thanks! This is very helpful. 👍

How is the adhesive on velco holding up in the sun?

Good Idea 💡 I LIKE!!!!!

Your poor camera's auto white balance at 4:10 lmao. Great video!

Thanks bro

Do the Windows still roll down with the Velcro on

Can the windows roll up and down?

So what is the temperature rating for the reflective material?

Awesome Idea, Thank You for sharing!

Amazing :)

Does the Velcro stay onto the windows? Mine peels off.

Does that Velcro tape damage tinted windows?

Beautiful

Hey so there are heaps of comments about reflextix making it look like someone's in the van, you should black out one side and not the other when you really need the insulation have the reflextix facing out when privacy is the main issue have the black side facing out, problem solved :))

thank you so much. is there a problem getting the velcro that sticks to the window off?

Only thing I'd do differently is put a thin, bendable, gluable insulation layer between the reflectix & fabric to limit the horozontal grating. Or just cardboard, and cut them horizontally in half to remove the top half to see out & let light in.

A good video, thanks! Did you win the fight? Those knuckles .. !

Wow great idea man!! It also insulates. I once slept in my truck with a sub zero sleeping bag in 5 degree weather. Could have used those. Thanks for the video. That stuff is expensive though but works perfectly for shaping around wondows.

Nice project, okay for windows that wont open, or just tilt open.

RAD!!! Going to use this on my Astro Van. Thank you!

Awesome vid thanks sm!! Q: Can you still roll the window down now that the Velcro is on there??

Can you still roll the windows down?

Velcro fails with time in the hot sun, it falls down

Hi, do those velcro tabs stay on your window? does it hamper the motion of the window? Like would I put velcro on driver''s and passenger window?

Well done! Great idea!

Thats awesome video bro keep the. Good work

Hey 👋 thats cool bro I like 👍

Black colour to the glass side is better than the silver one. This way you are better hidden inside. Silver is quite ok for the interior because gives bright while using one lamp only. You did otherwise. :))) Your glas in a windows is dark, so the silver is not as fast noticable. Having a regular windows the car starts to look like a tin with you sleeping inside. We want to avoid that!!

The only problem is if the velcro is too small the reflective sheet will remelt the glue. Its happened to me all the timem

thanks for the idea. It's marvelous.

That's so good.

Thanks brother. Please make more Minivan/Conversion Van videos. Love n Respect 🙏🏻

I just have 1 question ... How to lower windows with these Velcro glued to the windows ??
