It does look nice. I always like the rear window lovers but there were kind of a pain to keep clean underneath so I quit using them.

Looks great!

The silicone is to seal the bracket to the glass to prevent water from degrading the bond of the 3M tape. I used black silicone but it doesn't really matter what color because you can't seethe bracketswhen the louvers are on.

Here's mine... also from Amazon but painted to match:

Why the silicon sealer need?
As nuke said, it's to keep rain from lifting the double sided tape.

\
For holes you have to drill???
Nah, no holes. The brackets are stuck to the glass with double sided foam tape.

And what brand is 100% alcohol? The stuff in my bathroom is just 70% alc.
I used denatured alcohol from the paint department of a local WalMart. The 70% "rubbing alcohol" might work okay, but 100% alcohol is what Astra Hammond said to use in the instructions. I don't want a chance of the the things blowing off, so I used what the manufacturer recommends.

They look pretty good. Let us know if they do the job, which was originally to keep it a little cooler on hot days.
Thanks! I will.

Saw you on GO.Net but couldn't reply for some reason.
Are these the 10612 louvers, it dosen't specify aluminum on Amazon.The price is about right though.

They look great! How did you get the brackets to line up correctly, was there a template?
