Fuel lagoon 8pc thermal blinds disappointment

[djg87]

Anyone else buy these and give all the van spec …. Lwb with shuttle trim and rear wiper etc only for them to arrive and be a terrible fit ? Rear window is shocking and rear quarter ones aren’t the same size as each other. Bit disappointing really. Attached is the rear window one lined up properly on the glass to show how off centre the notch for the wiper is. Ignore that I have the shiny side inwards View attachment 148947View attachment 148948

I realise now I posted this in the wrong place. My bad

I have a SWB set and have no fit issues at all. I chose to move the position of some of the suckers but the cut/fit is perfect.

Shouldn’t the foil side be against the glass?

Interesting one that, Mrs Spuds & I have been discussing this. When we’re in warm weather e.g. Portugal in summer. We have the shiny side facing out. This reflects the sun & keeps the interior cooler. We’re in the Alps at the mo & we tried reversing the blinds so the shiny side was facing into the van. We think it’s noticeably warmer in the van as the heat is reflected back into the van.

Hmm... not sure about Shuttle but in mine the wiper cowling is not in the centre of the window - thus not symmetrical to window (by approx 3 cm).

I have two layers of tint on my windows but only one on the rear so the foil was visable. Vans used for discrete camping so flipped the rear one.

Mine have a fair bit of overlapping on to the plastic trim. I would have thought they would be the same size as the glass. Also unsure why the ones for the side windows have curved corners on one side and 90° Ones the opposite side. As all the rear sides are curved edges. Feel like I should maybe just send them back
