    Great video John. You’ve done the hard work and made it simple for people to follow. I’ll be interested to see how you get on with them over time. I’ve always felt that they were a bit flimsy and might not last long.

    On our 2011 Ducato the back edge of the Remis blind assembly started to rattle badly on both doors after a hot spell, not sure if it was ever screwed to the door or not, quick fix silicone sealant a good squirt stuck it back on. Magic stuff sorts a lot of squeaky moving bits. The front blind on ours doesn’t quite fit around the reversing camera screen, solution a hair bunny. The top support doesn’t allow the sun visors to go down fully either

    Thanks for making this video John... I am trying to fit a DAB windscreen aerial to a Fiat, which already has Remis blinds factory fitted. I noticed you had a similar DAB aerial on the RHS of the windscreen. Hoping you can help me out with a quick question... how easy do you think it would be to remove the left hand pillar of the remis blind in order to attach the DAB aerial's self adhesive earth connector to the windscreen pillar? Many thanks - Ian

    We made a little padded snake, like you use to stop drafts at the bottom of doors in the house, and that goes on the dash and blocks the light or people seeing in. From the outside you can't see the bars on ours, black bars and a black dash make it fit in quite well.

    Hi John & Mandy.. I have a Transit, The only place I could get this type of blinds was from Germany..? They were very very expensive.. I fitted them and yes they are ok, but I found that I was not using the side window ones as I could not crack the windows open for ventilation and stop condensation, if i did the wind made them rattle and some times pop open, and when you closed the back doors they would bellow out..? I took them off, put them on ebay and got all my money back.. I have now gone back to Thermal blinds with rubber suckers.. Great stuff. Cheers both..

    Did you not get a little tube of glue to hold the two halves of the rails together? When I fitted ours, the instructions were to join the two halves of each rail with glue before fitting them to the LHS pillar. They fit very well, but oh, so expensive!

    I did, but it was far too cold to glue anything so I'll do that bit when it gets warmer. I think they're good value for money when you see how much they want for the outer or inner stick on stuff that you then have to find somewhere to store them, and they constantly fall off!
