[quote name='Darth Vadar' post='29275' date='Dec 21 2006, 04:04 PM']Thanks Bob; did not know that! I like the design... will probably use it more than the old "Windowshade" type! I have a new Lloyds 968 rear area mat and would like to keep it from sun fading, so the cover will help![/quote]
Just my opinion, but I think the "window shade" design is not satisfactory, for a few reasons. The black plastic (or something) material fades and discolors over time. It becomes hard to pull out, and the the springs wear out. Also, the end caps, that hold the roll in place are plastic, and are going to break
eventually. The 968 style cover, that raises and lowers with the rear window, is excellent. It's easy to set up and to remove when needed. And being cloth, it can stretch over large boxes or other things. I had an entire rhythm section back there last week, and it was all covered up. The cover material stretched so much over everything, that it was practically shrink-wrapped! You could actually make out an instrument or two underneath the cover. The shade-type would not have worked.
