Magne Shade on a Miramar 37.1

Anyone install a Magne Shade on a Miramar? Our rig has a border around the windshield that I can't get to from the inside. Just wondering how they handle this?

Magna Shade has magnets that are placed on the outside of the side windows. Get some of those.

Thanks for the reply. I talked to Magne Shade today. After talking with them I went out to look at the windshield better. It looks as though I can remove trim pieces and then get to the inside perimeter. They do use the same magnets that they use on the side windows on the windshield if they are needed/warranted.

I am going to order the windshield one after I measure again. I really like the look and the ability to look out without everyone looking in.

I researched several types of shades..... looked at these shades and they are very nice. I went a less expensive rout and purchased a shade that attaches to the inside of the wind shield with suction cups. I am very pleased, it stays clean being on the inside and is very easy to deploy and remove and does provide privacy as well.
However I am sure the magna shade is more effective being that the sun is kept away from heating the wind shield its self.

There are a lot of nice options out there. I just kept coming back to the Magne Shade ones. They are expensive but if you average it out over the years (hopefully) of use, it's not bad. I should get mine next week.

There's a well-known story of some folks who enjoyed looking out through their external windshield shade during the day - and enjoying the privacy it provided. Seems they didn't know that at night the view changes considerably ... get my drift?

We love our Magnashades - just added one to the driver's and entrance door windows to further cut the heat gain.

Ok, that's funny. Yep we know, at night you can see back in as easy as it is to see out during the day. Our power shades will definitely be down at night. I didn't order the sides but I probably will in a month or two.

We are leaving this morning for a four day weekend. Wish we had it now but oh well. Glad you like yours.
