Ok on the back of the av where the sails are where you can install the little led lights...is there any plastic tint covers i can use to cover that opening? im looking to close it off with a decent tinted plastic for a different look.

You mean like this? Not easy to see here but thats called the sail panel window.. Many have been made in the past. But I have not seen them made in a while. Mine are etched and light up in the back..

Ps. That was Snow from last year... Not this year... Yet...

Yea that is what im looking for are those custom made or anyway factory made?

A Co called Snugtop makes them and sells them with the XUV Top for the Avalanche. But many members have built some of their own. These were made by a member back in 02..

You mean like this?

I fabbed them from Plexi with window tint on the inside. We purchased a used Snugtop that did not come with the sail panel windows. They can be bought from Snugtop to the tune of $300 for the pair.

I figured I could make something to fill the space. There have several people who have made their own versions. As far as I know no one is making them and selling them. The outside is not too hard to copy the shape, it's the inside that's a pain.

At one time, there was a fella that made these. I believe he no longer makes them.

Both sides. The outer side looks like glass and the inner side is solid raw plastic. Sandwiched together by 2 screws.

strobin01 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 12, 2010, 08:21:14 AM »

Mine were made by a club member who use to make them. I've had this set for about four years now. I may have them for sale in the future. I may trade off my av for a new one next year and get the av with BCEC option and I don't know if the sail windows will fit.

Strobin, I'd like to be first in line fro your windows if you decide to trade.

They are designed if you have the Snugtop camper shell to seal up the openings to make the back end weatherproof.
