09 Tuscany privacy screen

roboniko · 04-02-2009, 04:27 PM

Just picked up my 09 Tuscany and noticed that on the drivers side there are 2 pull down shades, one for the sun shade and one for the privacy shade. Problem is, when the privacy shade is pulled down it does not cover the drivers window completely. The window is curved on the end so it is leaving a 7" gap. This is not good. So much for privacy. IN the other Tuscany that I looked at it had a draw curtain in addition to the other shades, mine does not have this curtain. The dealership is looking into it with Damon so I will keep this posted. Just wanted to FYI.

I have an '09 Tuscany 4072 and it has the privacy curtain, seems strange that Damon would make a change to something that works just fine. I have found that the pull-down sun screens are worthless! The screens flap and bang on the window when down. When you retract the shade it takes both hands, hard to do when you are driving, not to mention it is unsafe!!! I have problems with my front privacy screen sticking when going up and down, I have to cycle the switch numerous times to get it up or down. I let my dealer know about the screen problem and they have ordered a new screen. I'll be interested to see why Damon changed the screen on your coach, maybe they ran out of curtain material.

Met with the dealer today and they have approval to replace the pull downs with the draw curtains. Don't know if anyone else has had the same problem or why Damon decided to do this but I am glad they are fixing it.

Our 2007 Tuscany has the draw curtain much better than the new electric curtain that is being installed. I can't answer why they decided to change a good thing either.

We have a similar issue with the passenger and driver side screens. We decided to place a small amount of rubber tubing around the passenger handle to stop the banging. It seems to have done the trick.. Now I am working on the drivers side.

We have the draw curtain on the front as well on our 2007. While I hate it when driving with the window open (it tends to pull the bottom of the curtain out the window) it does give us much privacy at night.

We hate the side window screens. The drawer cords bang around and pulling them down while driving is a pain. And they really don't block out any light when the sun is low. And watch out for the bang when they are put up if you do not do it slowly...

But we still love our coach...... (pix to come of the latest update we did - 2-1/2" wood blinds)
