External thermal windscreen covers

I have a 2007 Swift Bolero 680fb and are looking to buy an external thermal windscreen cover. Any ideas re which one to buy, where from and cost please . Thanks
 
I have to say that I was rather disappointed with the Taylormade screen that we had for our LDV Convoy based Devon Sahara - the fit was poor, but the Silverscreens silver screen that we now have for our Transit based Lunar Pinnacle is perfect.
 
Hi I had a set from silver screens for my previous van and thought they were great.Two years later changed the van and bought a replacement from silver screens in Nov 11 and have returned them. They were made from a much lighter material and in just a light wind blew away from the doors and out from under the wipers. silver screens comment was the change in material was owing to environmental reasons? Have now got a set from taylor made and are much happier with these but do agree the fit isn't perfect.
 
Always have bought from Edward @ Taylor Made, even when I had a set specificly made for one of my vans. Any problems, they ahve always sorted swiftly and without argument.
 
The only prob i think thier are with external covers are if you wild camp and pppl could damge or steal them or if thier is trouble outside you carnt you just in the drivers seat and get out of trouble just another thing to think about.
 
True. I don't use them when wild camping. I have blackout curtains behind the cab which are lined curtains with a thick fleece sown on the cab side (thanks for the sewing Kangooroo!) These keep the light out, heat in, and allow for a quick exit.
 
I have just brought a set from siver screens for our mk7 Transit motorhome, £89 plus postage they fit perfectly.

I'm on my second set from Taylormade and, like the first, they're excellent. I'm not sure about other makes but mine is in three separate sections, one for each door and one for the width of the windscreen. This makes them much easier to fit than one type that I saw, which was in two sections, one of which was very large and a struggle to put on.

Most can be folded down during the day to let some light in and the difference with the screens on is dramatic. If we don't bother putting them on I spend more time the next morning removing dripping condensation than I would have taken putting the screens on. I have a garage to put them in but, in my previous 'van, I put them in the toilet compartment and lifted them out when we wanted to use it. The bag that comes with them is like a long pillow.

My advice would be, go for it, and you'll notice a huge difference in the cab area in cold weather and no condensation the next morning.

I am very pleased with the "Silverscreens" which I bought from the factory in Cleckheaton.
It is a trusted brand which people praise every time a question like this comes up
 
Hi we've just bought Tayloymade and very pleased with it fits fine and price about £50 cheaper than silverscreen equivalent. Terry
 
Bought Taylormade for Peugeot (new shape) and am delighted with them.
Easy to put on by one person and perfect fit (longer style) to cover engine vents.
