Thank you. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to leave a thoughtful and supportive comment. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, and thank you for subscribing to both of my TH-cam channels!
I use a lot of velcro. It is one of the main supplies that I keep in my car, because it is incredibly handy for securing things. As you pointed out, it is really helpful with backout panels and shades, because it creates a tight fit around the windows. Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment!
Thank you for your positive and supportive comment! Sorry for the slow response, but I have been busy with work. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the videos.
Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos. I used a large corrugated board to cover the back window, the same way that I covered the other windows. The panels that I bought (24 x 36) turned out to be large enough for every window except that windshield.
@@livinginaprius I'll give that a try. Thick cardboard doesn't work too well. It tends to fall out because it's basically upside down and fighting gravity. Perhaps the thinner plastic fits better into the window surround's grooves?
I have learned over the last couple of years that no one seems to pay attention to the sunscreen in the front window. Probably because sun screens are so common. In terms of the blackout panels in the other windows, the key is to get tinted windows. If you haven't seen my video where I talk about the big difference that tinting my windows made in hiding the fact that I have blackout panels, then I recommend going to the the playlist for the channel and finding that video. Tinted windows, with blackout panels, has been the key to keeping me hidden while living in my car for the last two and a half years.
@@thejackbox Not year round but pretty close. I live here and can testify to that. Would have been a perfect time to see how the AC in the Prius works while running off the battery with the engine shut off. That is what I am looking at it for if I ever need to live in a vehicle.
I actually have made it to Texas during my cross-country road trips. I think I have a video from Amarillo. However, when going cross-country, I usually take interstate 40, which crosses the Texas panhandle. That is the narrowest section of Texas, so I am not usually in the state for very long. I have family in Dallas and Houston, so I like the state. Maybe I will spend more time there during my next trip.
@@livinginaprius Terrific! I am in the Dallas area. This is why the climate control of the Prius is so important. I can't think how anyone would survive for very long car living in Texas without it. Thanks for the reply.
Good tip with the 1/4 inch hook and loop.

Good tip on the velcro tape, I was wondering with a big curved back panel, gravity eventually wins. With the tape, its supported properly and snug

Great advice, thank you. I'm going to watch your other videos on the side blackout panels next. Also, very interesting time to be involved in AI.

If the windshield blackout draws attention, what about the windows blackout?
