Windows / Roller Blind Advice
In case of prolonged exposure to the sun roller
blinds should not be completely closed as this
could cause excessive heat concentration at
the top of the window, due to characteristics
of the glazing material the windows could be
adversely affected.
Roller blinds that shade from the bottom
upwards it is necessary to leave a gap of a few
centimetres open at the top, this way the heat
between window and blind can escape. A fly
screen does not cause an obstruction.
Roller blinds that shade from the top
downwards must be kept completely open,
or be opened regularly to allow the heat to
escape.
Keeping the windows in ventilation position
allows heat to escape.
Never fully close a roller blind system when
storing the vehicle or when not in use for
longer periods!
Therefore for optimal window life it is
recommended:-
• Blinds starting at the bottom of the window a
gap should be provided for ventilation at the
top with the window in its ventilation position.
• For vehicles containing blinds from the top
downwards or with other types of reflective
blinds / curtains, please make sure that
these blinds are also ventilated or not fully
closed.
Ensure that all windows and roof vents are
closed when the vehicle travels on the road.
