You know what's even lighter? No windows at all. That's how I do it. I carry around a blue tarp everywhere I go, it works well.

That's a good thought. Maybe just a window net, so I don't fall out?

They don't! I sanded and painted mine gloss black.

If you got the optional storage net in the passenger footwell, I'd just repurpose that one!

Could you please post a pic of that? I would love to see how it looks. 303 Protectant only does so much to get that plastic looking decent.

The best I could do with my garage doors closed. May take her out this morning for a coffee run and if so I'll update.

I used gloss black to experiment and because I want that trim looking new and refreshed.

A word of caution, you will need to pull your wipers to paint the piece properly, and without a wiper pull tool, it can be tricky. Theoretically you could crack or chip a windshield if you're having a bad day.

I may also pull the center bumper radiator cover for the same treatment.

I'd add there is no plastic treatment on that surface, just gloss paint.

Looks great! Thanks for the info about pulling the wipers.
