Day/nighter blinds

[homebase1]

Good Day All

Today's dumb question goes as follows:
When a day/nighter blind is in the rear window and the driver looks
in the rear view mirror, can he/she see what is outside the window
while driving. Naturally, we shall assume the blind is in the Day
position.
You might also assume that I do not have these blinds in the
coach at the moment.....

The Day-Night shades have three (3) positions. Night position (full
down with no light showing through), Day position (half-way with night
portion fully up but translucent day portion still down), and full up
which gives you a fully clear window. With the Day position on the rear
window, you can detect bright lights at night but I would call the rear
view "blind". If you want to see out the back you have to pull
everything all the way up. BTW, installation of the rear blind will
require you to make a curved filler to go horizontally across the top of
the window; you mounts the blind to this filler. I used a piece of 1x,
shaped it to fit the curve of the rear, and screwed it into place using
some small angles. Still waiting for my wife to make a valance to cover
it but I think it will look real nice.

freighter damage control operations out of my front windows.

Depending on the darkness/lightness of the shade, you can see out of the
day night in the day position, or if you want, you can take it up all
the way and not have a shade at all.
