Blind for window above Ducato cab?

[AlastairH]

The blind we have at the moment above the cab seats lies at about a 30 degree angle and is one of the concertina types. Because it is so wide and unsupported in the middle, it has an unsightly big crease right down the middle.

Can someone recommend a roller blind manufacturer that would supply something to suit please? Something that could be hooked on at various points on the frame to let in more or less light as required and stop it flapping around. The window does not open so the blind is simply a adjustable sun shade or blackout blind for night-time.

I have seen foreign motorhomes fitted with them in Europe that also incorporate a bug screen but cannot find a supplier in the UK. Thank you in anticipation all you helpful Funsters.

Do you know who the maker of the window is? It might be easier to just replace with a original part.

This company has been mentioned before as a supplier of unusual bits and pieces

Thank you, Mike but the existing style is unsuited to its location. Imagine the blind lying almost flat and being flapped up and down as the MH moves along. That’s what created the crease.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll take a look.

Or Magnum in Grimsby.
They sell all sorts for the pvc conversion and motorhome market, but they are not like any other accessories shop, more like a chandlers/hardwear end of the market.
I've been a few times and they have some interesting stuff.

I assume you have a Remis blind. Around £300 for front screen. Some say not easy to fit.
Have had them in last three vehicles. They are not strong but never had problems with creases, yet.

It is the blind over a skylight above the cab, not the blind over the windscreen.
