Hi all ,
I am going on big trip to the
little Sandy desert and I thought I might put silver contact paper on my rear side windows in the back of my car ( not on door windows ) . This would keep the car a bit cooler and give me some privacy as to what I have in the back worth stealing .
Does anybody know if this is illegal . I am thinking that it would be just like a panel van , and they are legal .
Thanks ,
Willie .Wishun I was fishun

Willie, I don't think it would illegal to black out the rear side windows although not sure about the rear window as it restricts your view of vehicles behind you. (I can't see out my rear window either and we do have side mirrors.
You could make up some curtains.
The rear passenger windows can be screened using window socks. They work very
well. Alternatively you could use those suction gripped mesh screens.
As long as they don't impair the driver's view you shouldn't have any hassels.I'd rather have my bum on a beach in
Broome
Than be stuck here in this damn room.

Willie, did the same as a few others have posted, bought a few of those silver insulated windscreen refelectorsfrom Crazy Clints...only about $3 each, then cut them to fit the side and rear windows in the Patrol...made newspaper stencils first to get the size right...and i just put one of those velco dots you get in a pack from bunnings in each corner ( because i didnt want to bugger up the tinting ) and its easily removed and holds
well....right rear is the only one that I keep on all the time, and it's been there 2 years now, no probs
