Subject:Plexiglass, was: Tinted windows, longish
From:Calle Fallberg

Hi Larry, Mike, Tom AND the rest of you all  !

I got some p-mail as a reaction on my "tinted windows" letter with questions on the plexiglass shield, how to fasten, web page and so on !
I hope you don�t mind if I post the answer to the community instead of person to person !
The only contact I�ve had with the company was asking for the price of a set just after I bought the Vanagon.
I got the usual sales talk (easy to put in and out, how efficient they were and so on) plus the price which at that point was a bit too high for me so I just dropped the project and bought the self adhesive windowtint instead.
But the idea itself appeals to me so I�m probably going to buy some clear plexi and new tint and redo it, the old tint is getting a bit worn down by my dogs ( Belgian Shepherd Tervueren).
Then I could choose the colour of tint too, here in sweden its sold in "black", dark brown, dark blue, tan,almost clear and aluminum that gives the window the "mirror " effect (rather ugly, if it�s not perfectly flush) 
The plexi itself should not be too expensive and I don�t think it�s a big deal to get it fastened with thin metal pieces pressed down between the rubber seal and the window, no drilling or damaging !
 But for those of you who want to see the factory made solution and how they do it  the company call themselves "Solarplexius" and are to be found at www.solarplexius.com ( the page is in Swedish , I don�t know if they�ll answer e-mail or send material in english otherwise we could have language lessions in Swedish - on fridays ;-) - or I could try to translate )

It�s absolutely understandable, but since you asked the spelling should be
Tack s� mycket  :)
