Ace windscreen / driver /passenger blinds

Hi, our cheap curtains on 2017 Ace just disintigrated due to sun impact I guess.
Has anyone figured out a way to fix blinds in these areas? Thanks, cheers.

We just use the silver sunscreens for privacy on the windshield and side windows. Also helps insulate.

My wife has come up with a great addition/substitute for the original blinds in our ACE. She went on line and bought some new rollers for the track, then went to a local fabric store looking for some type of usable fabric. She found this great product. Its highly reflective (mirror like) on one side and see through black on the other. Its very light weight and easy to work with. She went and just made a new set of curtains for the unit. With the reflective ability it has cut down on inside heat.

I assume you just had the liner disintegrate like everyone else. I got some marked down thermal drapes and just sewed them to the existing curtains in place of the liner, white side out. Works great.

When in storage we use the foil covers on the windows. When camping I have a Sunguard sun shade for the front windows.

Rarely use the curtains other than for privacy at night.

(Yes the inside of ours disintegrated as well.)
