I found these window blinds at home depot,
$7 and they just stick to the boat .
I added velcro to the bottom so they stay in place.
also they are long so I cut them in half and made to for one !
so for $14 bucks I did the whole boat except the front window.

Got a part number? Looked online and saw options, just none as cheap as yours.

They were in the blinds department next to the window tinting kits .

the blind is very thin material, with tape on the top .
and those two clips to hold it up .

the back window was $7 the front widow was longer $13
