jacksonhitt Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 Hello All. I'd really appreciate some help finding a solution to keeping my car cool from the sun. I have a 2015 Audi A6 Allroad (C7). I'm after some sun screens that block out all light on side windows. Not the "shade" kind, typically for rear passengers. I want blackout, similar to what one would place in a front windscreen with a silver reflective surface. The key word seems to be "thermal blind" but specific fitting ones only seem to come for vans. I found a few universal ones but my car doesn't have metal rims so magnetic fitting is no good. Suction would be ok but a long search didn't reveal anything. I hope someone else has had some luck? This is all about keeping the car cool when I leave my watersports gear inside. There is a limit to how much heat some of the materials can take before deteriorating. Many thanks Jackson
Steve Q Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I've seen on the car campers groups on Facebook that people have made their own blinds. Using cardboard as a template then using thermal bubble wrap insulation from b&q, insulating roll similar to make custom ones. Plus this link might help: https://ethanmaurice.com/blog/how-to-make-blackout-window-shades-for-a-camper-van-or-element
