Question:

I have a rv pepped with that thin shade frame. We would like to have the privacy, but would still like to see out for security. Can the Lippert thin shade be installed upside down so it opens from top to bottom?

Hey Ann, thanks for reaching out!

The top and bottom "bases" for the Lippert Thin Shade Window Shade # LC786037 are the exact same, so you definitely can install it so it opens from the top instead of the bottom.

The installation looks to be pretty straightforward, and I've attached the written instructions for your reference.

Let me know if you have any other questions about this!
