Gazillions of holes

When I bought the Rolling Steel Tent the back windows were covered with perforated vinyl. That was good, because it helped keep thieving eyes off the contents of my van. Yet I could also see out.

But the vinyl was a little ratty, and in the past few months it had gotten worse. It was time to replace it. It took longer to deal with the guy in the sales office than to have it installed. Hey-presto, job done in ten minutes.

  2. It's called perforated vinyl. White is the default color. Graphics can be printed on it. Look for companies that do vinyl wraps.

  3. This is what I need for my slider window! I've tried pretty much everything else. Thanks for sharing this idea.

  5. I haven't done a comparison, Ming. It's what was originally on the van and it works well enough for me.

  6. So Al, the film goes on the OUTSIDE rather in the inside side of the window ? Question: wouldn't it last LONGER if it were placed on the inside... What I mean is been outside the film is exposed to dirt, mud, rain etc etc

    1. This is the stuff they use to wrap vehicles in advertising. It's durable.
