Or you could make a frame out of a piece of wood to go around the window, then cut a suitable sized hole oin the wood for the window, and wrap it completly in carpet so no rough edges show, then bond/screw the frame around your window

If you use a VERY SHARP Stanley knife, you should be able to get a very clean finish without having to bead it..new blade,new blade, new blade...thats the key.

Looks like the silver fox is in to a bit of S&M judging by the tie down points and that BIG silver shaft hes got in the back of the huggy mobil.
Im sure BJT will give us a master class on their uses. :lol:
