Has anyone discovered how to revitalise the corrugated mosquito mesh in the roof openings. A strong wind in the summer stretched ours down and requires care now to close it.

I have a sagging problem too :Eeek: (cue trolling from the usual suspects) but not as bad as yours by the sound of it. I just live with it as lucky it is just an annoying OCD thing. I would guess that replacement is the only realistic option

That’s a sun blind surely ? The mosi bit is a mesh.

The sun blind is usually thick paper that has a reflective surface on the top side. Can’t see there’s much you can do except replace it ?

If you mean the blind that you close at night, then when ours started sagging we removed the blind and on the reflective side used a silver foil tape onto the corrugations to strengthen them. It worked quite well.

If you do mean the actual mesh netting then I'd try ironing them in the first instance, obviously off the vehicle before you start waving the iron near the skylight, it might just work.

The above are referring to the large front skylight.

Thank you Sandance and others for your ideas. I will find how to remove the blinds, I have three, and attempt to iron them when I have built up enough courage.
