Installed MCD shades in cockpit area

Well I finally got rid of the pleated wrap around shades that were such a pain. I installed power windshield day/night shades and manual day/night shades over drivers door window and the passengers window. Also had valiances built for side windows. Saved between $650 to $800 in installation fees.

My wife would love this on our side windows! Did you run a new feed for power or borrow for another source?

There are two switches for the windshield shades, one for the day and one for the night. The side shades are manual. I tide the power into the fuse box under the dash. I looked at my owners manual and found a fuse that was a 12 volt feed as recommended. Jtermini 30, if you need info I can help, but MCD techs are very helpful. It really wasn't that difficult to install, so if you have any mech/ carpentry skills save yourself some money and do it yoursel. Drive down here to NC and I'd be glad to give you a hand.
