    In trying to find an easy way to cover my windows in my camper top for when I need or want to camp. I have a fiberglass topper and no easy way to keep them up. When I try to tape reflectix but it won't stick to the fiberglass. Does anyone know how I can cover my windows?

    I used the bolts on the inside holding the window. I fought with Velcro for too long and did this, never really thought about it since.

    I've tried it but since it's so cool rn where I can the condensation on the back makes my tape not stick very well

    No, I take the bolts out of the window. And screw them thru the reflectix.

    Check out harbor freights moving blankets. I think you should be able to buy one and cut it in half. Throw 1/2 on each window and that should block out all light.

    I have carpet so I use Velcro and it has been working great for years.

    My friend doesn't have carpet and epoxied rare earth magnets to the inside of his shell which he uses to hold curtains and screens up. Works well.
