How about BOTH! The Lady Millie and her sewing machine made up these insulated curtains; I relocated the tracks inward to clear the blinds, using a 3/8 thick wooden spacers. We can now keep the sun out better while in the slip (curtains closed), while still letting the breeze blow through (on the hook. Don't have a gen set and wouldn''t run it all night in any case.) Nice to have one's cake and eat it too! Jeff

Thanks, y'all. She plans to add some blue decoration to all that otherwise stark whiteness. Wanted to see how well it worked first.

well let me ask Fast Jeff, do you have lights in the ceiling behind the blinds, I have lights up there . I am just wondering if I put in blinds like your will affect the lighting behind the teak wood up there... I really like that look,
We had a lady make us cutains for the boat a couple of years ago, after the wife had studied several yachting magazines decided she want off white curtains, and they look good, the only problem and even I see it is there about 1'' too short.... They still work just fine , but they could have beena little longer....

Our lights are the round deals and they are far inside the curtains.

When we put in new curtains, we converted the tube lights behind the valance to rope lighting. The rope lighting is mounted in its own plastic track (about 1/2 inch wide) and leaves lots of room to mount a mini-blind. It gives an interesting effect and the lighting is more uniform along the whole length of the valance.

Many thanks

I forget the brand, but we got them at K-Mart. You need to measure carefully and get the right size.
Jeff
PS: If I had it to do over, I'd use one LONG blind for the sedan windows instead of two small ones.
