I'm trying to reduce the canopy reflections in my V2bx, particularly
the refletion from around the air vent at the extreme forward end of

and felt-tip pen (not very effective).


Any thoughts on effective surface treatments?

I bought some black felt with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA)
backing for use in padding some things around the trailer. It would
also work well for your needs. I got mine from ... where else... The
Felt People (www.thefeltpeople.com).

Erik,

I called 'The Felt People', and was told there was a $100 minimum
order at $10/yd, So, I would have to order 10 yards! And the sales
person wasn't very interested in helping me find a distributor
either. All in all, a real downer. I guess I could cover the entire
glider and have a stealth Ventus - might get kinda hot, though ;-).

Anyone else interested in black PSA durafelt?.
