Thanks!  It's funny I never thought of putting it on the outside.  I guess
'cause I've not even bought the reflectix yet!

Next part: How to fasten it either side?  I was planning to use black velcro
along the edge of the rubber window molding, on the interior.  I have a lot
of magnets I used with my previous Westy but didn't like them much.  FYI,
they weren't rare earth but were decent sized (1"x2").
