Installation Guide – Breizh-Trotter Insulated Blinds

Official step-by-step assembly guide for blackout and thermal blinds for campervans and conversion vans.

💡 General Recommendations

Each blind is clearly marked with a positioning label for easy installation. Always fit the blinds with the hem facing outwards and keep the finished edge at the bottom. For bare metal areas, magnets attach directly to the vehicle's original sheet metal.

1. Windshield Blind Installation

🛠️ Installing snap buttons on the headliner

  1. Position the sides: Open the cab doors and align the sides of the blind using the built-in magnets.
  2. Mark center buttons (Symmetry): First position the central snap buttons against the headliner. Firm pressure marks the spot on the ceiling fabric.
  3. Screw the snap buttons: Using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the snap base directly into the mark made.
  4. Repeat for all buttons: Repeat this process for all snap buttons (usually 6 buttons total on the headliner).

2. Front Cab Doors & Sliding Doors

🚗 Front Cab Doors

  • Perform installation with the door open.
  • Check the label to identify left and right blinds.
  • Keep the hem facing outward and the finished edge at the bottom.
  • Attach the blind to the metal door frame using integrated magnets.

🚐 Side Sliding Doors

  • Install with the sliding door open.
  • Slide the blind carefully under the top door rail.
  • Adjust sides using small magnets, making sure to avoid locking mechanisms.

3. Rear Tailgate & Side Quarter Windows

🔒 Tailgate & Custom Quarter Panel Blinds

Tailgate Mounting: Place the blind directly on the tailgate frame. If plastic-trimmed or aluminum, mount magnets directly to the surrounding metal chassis.

Quarter Windows: For specific rear side windows, custom insulation panels can be made. Watch the tutorial video and download the paper guide below.
