Description
Whether you’re trying to keep the van cool during the summer or sealing in the heat in the winter, we’ve got you covered. Designed for stealth camping, these window covers have external facing black fabric for privacy and safety.
This cover uses the strongest magnets available, double-aluminum automotive grade insulation and premium fabrics to create window covers that are durable enough to last through all your adventures.
Keep light out & privacy in with our Front Windshield Cover designed to turn your van into a stealth camping machine. Made with 5.0mm double faced aluminum insulation, our covers offer superior temperature regulation and no light leakage. And thanks to its 6 integrated fiberglass rods, this cover will stay stiffly in place without any sag. This cover uses integrated fiberglass rods to create stiffness to secure it into place. We recommend using your sun shades and rear view mirror to help hold it in place.
What’s Included:
[1] Front Windshield Window Cover
[2] Front Door Window Covers (Left & Right Doors)
[2] Storage sacks
Note: This front windshield cover is compatible with all Mercedes-Benz vans built from 2007 to current model. It works with all sizes of technology boxes and with or without rear view mirrors.
NOTE: If you have doors with grab handles (like in the 4×4), our products can accommodate this easily, just fold the flap backward in this location.
There’s not much metal around the top of a Sprinter’s front door. Our covers are designed to be oversized and fit in your window with both magnets and friction in the door frame. Should you open the door with the cover in place, it is best to close the door and reposition the window cover again from inside. If the cover gets in between the door and the rubber seal, it might create a space for it to leak if it rains.
What is the R-Value of these window covers?
R-value is a building insulation spec based on 6 inches of insulation. Without 6 inches of insulation, an R-value will be inaccurate. The window covers are made with 5 mm automotive-grade PE foam insulation. If you install the covers on all windows and leave them in all day, the inside of the van will be approximately 20 degrees F cooler than the outside temperature (assuming the rest of the van is properly insulated and the cabin is separated from the cockpit).
To install your Front Windshield Cover:
-
Place window cover on dash and open completely with the black fabric facing outward.
-
Push window cover completely down deep into where the window’s glass meets the dash. No need to push hard, just make sure it is seated correctly across the entire length of the window.
Depending on the van, next steps are:
MERCEDES-BENZ: Vans with rear view mirror, lift up the window cover and wrap around the rear view mirror one side at a time with the cut out. Use the magnet to close around it. If you have a technology box or don’t have rear view mirror, use the provided hooks that go under the headliner and once hooked on, pull cord locks on either side to pull up close to the glass. If you don’t need them, they can be either not used or removed.
- Roll your hand across the top of one side of the cover to the side of the van and pull down sun visor to hold in place. Repeat step on the other side.
- If you have light leakage coming in, push the window cover into these gaps to best seal it up.
- To remove window cover, reverse the process.
FORD TRANSIT / RAM PROMASTER: Use the same steps above. There is not an additional hook/tension system on these covers as it is not needed for these vans.
To install your Front Door covers:
- Choose a window to work with first and match up the cover shape to that window with the black side facing outward.
- Push window cover completely into the closed door frame with equal amounts showing around all the sides to form a seal.
- Push in as needed and make slight up/down side to side movements to get the best fit.
- Repeat on other side of van to the other door.
Depending on the van, next steps are:
MERCEDES-BENZ: If your van doors have a grab handle, fold back the flap to install correctly in place.
FORD TRANSIT / RAM PROMASTER: Use the same steps above. Make sure to move your cover down behind the plastic trim where needed for a good fit. When new, they will need some time to soften and fit correctly.
