Recommendations please Screen Wrap T6.1

[d8smt]

Looking for recommendations for a basic(non thermal) external screen wrap for a T6.1 with wind deflectors and a Reimo poptop ideally that packs pretty small.
Already have a decent thick thermal one, just need a lightweight one for a European trip that will block out the light and keep it a bit cooler. Fancied the Stitches+Steel one bit apparently it is a terrible fit for the T6/6.1?

thx all

I have the Stitches and Steel one on my 6.1, not perfect but does the job.

we have given up with all the poncy expensive screen covers and just got a bit of dark grey stretchy material that hooks over the coat hooks on the B pillars plus hooks over the sun visors works a treat

Hooks on the B pillars? That must be another thing the VW bean counters decided we don't want/need.

We had the Stitches cover. Fit was awful. If you look closely on their promo photos it's on a facelifted 5.1 that still has the old mirrors.

We ended up with UK Custom covers. £35 blocks out light, fits, packs up to A4 / laptop sized

Found Post in thread 'External Windscreen Cover'

11 May 2024

Anyone have a black windscreen cover that would fit a T6.1 that they either no longer use or have spare that they would like to sell?
Was looking at a Stitches and Steel one but none in stock currently.

Don't bother with S+S screen cover. They don't fit properly on a T6/6.1 If you look very closely at their photos on the website, you will see that the screen cover is shown fitted on a face-lifted T5 which still has the original mirrors. The mrirrors on a T6/6.1 are in a different place and the screen cover doesn't fit properly, or at least in my experience not properly enough to...
