Bra for 87 gv

Would appreciate assistance in procuring a bra for our foretravel
 Trying to keep those rock chips at bay
 Could have one made 2nd market bit would probably be fairly expensive
 What king of material would be suggested. Would also like to procure some protection to use on outside of front windshield. Thanks in advance.

You mean, when you're parked, or?

Both items can be acquired at a marine canvas shop. Get the materials or any further stage of completion.
No RV! Have hung up the keys.

Bigfoot What Model Coach Do You Have? 36 DP 3208t really does not tell us a whole lot to help you. Do You have a Grand Villa? Is it the older square front. etc

Ours were done by: ShadePro Inc - RV Awnings & Accessories | Order Online!      They will custom make them for whatever style coach you have. I like the fact they wrap around both side windows. Good product, comes with covers for the windshield wipers, too!  ^.^d

Sorry everyone should of had gv in my signature. Contacting a marine canvas person sounds like a good option

Bigfoot does your coach have 2 swivel snaps one each side at the top and bottom of the windshield?Mine came with a cover made by Sun Ray in Portland Oregon. It connects to the snaps at top and bottom of windshield sides.
Magna Shade has a neat cover that is held on with magnets. It looks way easier to use than the one I have. I do not have one myself But I think some forum member do and will probably chime in.

Our Shade Pro connects the same way. I have put it on many times alone, but it's easier with two. Installing the snaps is a two person job, as well: they should keep the cover as tight as possible; do the tops first.I notice they have a outlet in Phoenix, now.

I noticed snaps for the sum shade but not for the bra. Do you have to drill holes for most grand villas. Mine an 87. Thanks

Mike, I do have the snaps. Think I will have it done in Quartzsite. More concerned with not having a bra. How many rock chips can I avoid in the next 5 month's and travel from Oregon to Az. I can put the marine 303 on the dash until I can get a sun shade
