Always use a metal measuring tape. All blinds/screens are made using the information and measurements supplied. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for incorrect information provided by a customer.

Carefully measure width "A" at 2 points. This will identify the recess and window shape e.g. Square / Rectangular or Tapered. Then carefully measure the Recess Drop "B" which is also the Blind Drop. Solar Solve Marine will deduct 6mm from the INSIDE Recess Width given, to obtain the Blind Width and ensure the blind/screen will fit perfectly. Decide where the blind/screen is to be installed and carefully measure width "W" at 2 points. This will identify the recess and window shape e.g. Square / Rectangular or Tapered. Then carefully measure the Drop "D". Give the dimension "W" as the OUTSIDE Recess WIDTH dimension (PW or CW) and the dimension "D" as the DROP RD.

NOTE: Please take into account any obstructions such as wiper motor units, air vents and other instruments which may be fixed on or near the window, as these may interfere with the operation of the screen.

Where space at the top of the window is limited, an area of glass A would not be covered by the film/fabric. Where the space at the top allows the roller/cassette to be extended then the extra width of film/fabric allows all of the glass to be covered.
