Koger Shades GROUP ORDER

[jiott]

Brian, yes I just received mine. It looks like a quality product and the installation looks very easy, probably about 20 minutes. Will get it installed this weekend; will post photos.

I measured my Model IV today and the 33" would be too wide. Mine measures about 31 1/2". So, Brian, if you could order me one about 30 1/2" wide, please do so. However, I don't know how to PM or send PayPal. If you could PM me with your address I'll send you a check tomorrow. Thanks!!

I installed my Kroger shade today. Went very quick and easy. Made a flight with it and am very pleased; it fits up tight against the skylight, adjusts back and forth very smoothly, and looks great. If I were to tweak its size any, I would add 1" to the present 33", and add 1" to the present 25" length. No big deal but the added inch would be perfect in my view for an SS7 Kitfox. It does not cover up the fuel sight gauges; they are still very visible.

The photos show the complete assembly before installation (red rectangles are the double stick tape), the center channel, sliders close-up, center channel installed, final assembly with the shade fully retracted, 1/2 retracted, and full on.

That's super cool. Thanks Jim. Glad I got in on these.

Thanks for sharing Jim. They look great! It looks like they follow the contour of the skylight a bit.

[jiott]

Yes, you bend the center channel to exactly follow the contour of the skylight, then stick it on.

So... The center skylight support is not there on the SS7? I have a ply support in the middle. I suppose I could take it out.

How does everyone feel about adding the inch in each direction, per Jim's recommendation? I think I'll get mine that way. Shall I do all of them that way? (Except for Eddie and sourdostan, who have different dimensions already.)

Also, any new orders will have to be PayPal, as I plan to place the order on Monday, and I won't get checks in time.
