Has anyone had a go? I'm not going to be in a position to afford Vanshades so I'm going have a go myself. Has anyone else tried it or know any vids / links etc?

Thanks

Did you get anywhere with this Andrew? I have a shuttle and I’m wondering if there is anything I can do with the built in sunshades to make them more like a replacement for curtains...
 
I wondered about this modification with the Shuttle blinds too but decided against it as it would leave gaps at the sides and not match any blind or curtain you put in the back window. Got a local upholstery company making me up some curtains instead. Made some tempory thermal screens for windscreen and cab side windows from frost screens from Aldi and sucker cups off eBay. Cost 15 quid all in. You could do the same with the rear. They'll do until I decide what to do with privacy curtain once pop top roof is fitted.
 
I've gone down the DIY magnetic attached blinds route as the offerings available just didn't work for us.
Thermal blackout lining and an Orla Kiely finish. 1 down 6 to go :)
