I've been hunting for a privacy/stealth screen for a while. This one looks decent and doesn't require any rail or anything like that to be installed. Has anyone got one?

Wow £105.
I’ve got a throw from Dunelm that we just tuck into the gap between pop top frame and cover board and hey presto total blackout.
Plus it conforms to the rule that everything should have more than one use.

Yeah I know what you mean but I'm looking for something a little less obvious, and this seems like a really simple solution that can be used as and when or left in place without looking like a pair of poorly hanging curtains. Plus it does have some other uses....I'm defo interested in getting the Mrs involved in the adults game panel
Price seems reasonable when I look at what a set of window blinds/curtains go for.

Make one, blackout material is cheap as chips job done probably less than £20 all you need is some thin plastic to make the pieces you shove in the trim.
Failing that wiz a blanket/throw over the headrests.

Does the job for next to nothing.
We are about to make one with a rectangle piece of black blackout theatre curtain, eBay, and 4 strong magnets, one each side up behind seats, and the other two magnets halfway down the b pillar,
We use a 2M piece of black out material from eBay. It's black on one side and white on the other and is sold as 54" wide. My wife sewed up the edges and I fixed pop studs to it and the wooden pop top 'hatch cover'plus a couple of magnets on both top corners. The black side is towards the windscreen and looks like it's a fixed bulkhead in the dark. Great for stealth or a quick overnighter as it takes about 20 seconds to hang and can be used with or without the front double swivelled and / or folded.
If we're pitched for a few days, we tend to use the usual silver reflecting things that stick to the screen and door windows with suckers and just leave them on.

Yeah that sounds decent but I'm looking for something that doesn't require any fixings like press-studs/rails/magnets etc. (just my OCD I guess). Plus, this kabinkurtain one says it's not suitable for pop-tops so probably not quite comparing apples with apples.We use a 2M piece of black out material from eBay.

Anyway, seems no-one has got one which was my original question so looks like I'm going to be the guinea pig on this!
Please feed back once you have it. However, the frugal Scot (of Yorkshire descent), likes the look of using blackout material and some discrete magnets or VelcroAnyway, seems no-one has got one which was my original question so looks like I'm going to be the guinea pig on this!

Defo will.! using magnets, velcro, rails etc. is what I'm trying to avoid...each to their O(wn)CD with this bloody van lark
The magnets aren’t permanent, just hold up the blackout fabric to bodywork, stick the magnet over the top of fabric onto the bodywork, one on each corner, if the magnet is strong enough it works over/though the fabric and any carpet lining.Defo will.! using magnets, velcro, rails etc. is what I'm trying to avoid...each to their O(wn)CD with this bloody van lark
Mine is slightly different but still cheap. 4mm bungy cord with two hooks loops over the coat hooks on rear of the B pillar and hooks go into seat belt metal loops. Lightweight blackout fabric simply pegged on the cord. Folds up really small and goes in door store. The line and pegs do double duty as drying line and the fabric as a rear seat cover.
I find if I slide the front seats forward a little the curtain hangs fine behind the headrests and looks like a bulkhead.
