I don't have a magne shade but I do have a shade for the front window. Ours came with a vinyl tube to store it in. I roll up the front shade along with the two sides and store it in the tube all rolled up and just throw the wiper covers in the storage area.

We have the Sunguard shade.

Just got mine installed. The instructions say NOT to fold, but roll up with the magnets on the OUTSIDE (don't want the magnets to repel each other because it will cause them to lose their attraction power).

Do not fold them. Buy a swimming pool noodle and roll it up using the noodle magnets on the outside.

Forgot the swimming pool foam noodle instructions there Kev... By the way, the shades look great on our 24.1. Thanks again.

Glad the shades worked out for you and you are happy. I think it's a great product. I ordered the windshield shade for the Winsport even though it hasn't arrived yet. In a couple of months I will order the side covers. How about a pic when you get a chance?

Will do. It is at the dealer getting some last (minor) warranty work done.
