New Beaver look/ MCD Shades

No pictures, sorry about that.  

I had recently put new windows in my house, so i was able to observe how the blueskin was used there.  It is simply a very sticky piece of butyl with a blue plastic backing.  I first cut it to the width that would cover the opening and fold over the fiberglass on the outside and the plywood on the inside, each by about 1/2".  Once the windows were installed over that, I had to trim a few places so  the blue didn't show.

At the corners, a few cuts were necessary to stretch it around the corner and still have full contact.

I don't think using blueskin is the only way to seal up the opening, but as it works so well in household applications I thought I would try it here.

Good luck with your repairs.  Let us know how it all works out.

John Hennessey:
I'm thinking out adding MCD shades to the rest of our coach having added them to the windshield last year. Can you have them motorized like the roman shades our Marquis came with?  I hate the manual roll up shades. They never seem to work for long

Keith Oliver:
motorized are available.  The local installer guy discouraged us from using them, for the high cost of running/hiding the wiring.

Mike Humble:
We have installed some top down bottom up blinds in neutral colors in both of our coaches and find them to be nice looking and functional.
Mike and Donna
