*Sneak Preview*
Adapting a design for an interior rear window shade I originally constructed back in '93 for my leased Saturn SC2:
Car sits out in the sun a lot more now, and I don't want to put a heavy tint on the glass.
Goal is to make louvers barely visible, or at least unobtrusive. Functionality is a must, convenience would be a plus.
Should be done next year, sometime ( )

We had a guy that was in the Canadian military that was doing something like this to his car that was going to be like a race car. He got shipped off to the Middle East and haven't heard from him since then.

Eh_nigma. He scrapped his project a while back and was moving on to something else.
His interest changed..

Make it easy to take out and put in man. Got a feeling cleaning the back glass with that in there would be a real PITA!

Ok, moving along, another prototype
Made an adjustment to grade of the "steps," still not quite right. Need to construct a center mount, if possible from the rear deck.
Final version will most likely be flat black, white is good for illustration, though. Not too bad since it matches the car.

I like it. It's a very unique mod that I haven't seen on an Alero. Way to keep it original

Thanks, I think the windows are the same
The concept is easy, I think somebody could come up with a perfect fitting, and therefore better looking unit if they had enough time and patience.
Plus there are no doubt better materials to use, at more expense.
