We're interrupting your regularly scheduled broadcast in order to bring you this Public Service Announcement ....
Due to the ridiculous amount of sun/heat that's already fallen on the mid-south, I was looking for a window screen for my truck. Actually I wanted one for both front and rear glass, as the sun hits both over the course of the day, making it miserable hot inside.
Online, "fitted" ones for the front glass, were $50+ ...yeah, about that...gonna have to give you a big fat NO! I couldn't even find anything for the rear...and those generic/one-size-fits-all types, weren't good enough for my grey poupon lifestyle.
So, off to Lowes I went, and for the sum of $25, I bought a 24"x25' roll of Reflextix insulation (the foil-covered bubble wrap stuff), and cut it to fit both winders There's still enough left to do another vehicle, so I have less than $15 in covering the front and rear glass in my truck.
I noticed an immediate drop in interior temp (a good 20-30*) by blocking out the sun. I can roll them up and stick them behind the seat when not in use.
Front is notched for the rear view mirror post, and is held in place with the visors.
The rear hangs from the coat hooks, and the headrests also help hold it to the rear of the cab interior.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
