    Do they exist? Looking for something to completely black out my windows. Has the leather snap doodads that are worn down and let too much light in. Looking for a possible hard plastic replacement

    Make your own or buy new leather ones. I would think junk yards have plenty of those, if u don't wanna buy new

    I went to Lowes and bought a type of insulation called "Reflectix"
    Its silver and reflects a lot of the heat and light. I cut it to fit the windows perfectly.
    I use it to completely black out the windshield/door windows and it makes the APU work alot less to keep it nice and cool when its 110 outside.
