I got the front windshield and the driver and passenger windows insulated this weekend. It turns out that the super cheap comforters at Wal-Mart are the perfect size for the 'Bago. I ended up using two King-sized comforters in black to get 'er done.
What makes this job trick is that the comforters get folded fully in half, doubling their potential insulation. I'm sure it sounds really ghetto-riggy, but from inside and out, it looks like something I bought.
I ended up using safety pins to hold it all together. None of the safety pins are visible from the outside of the vehicle and from the inside, only along the top hem of the curtain that the vehicle already had.
The difference already is tremendous. The bare glass was just bleeding heat. Now, there is a major difference in how frequently the furnace runs and the temperature gradient in the beast. Most noticeably, the temperature on either side of the comforter is dramatic, indicating that the insulation job was quite successful.
It's all coming along.
