Fuzzy Window Shade Seals

BogieMeister

While at the nuCamp rally this year I was able to pick up the fuzzy inserts that upgrade our window's bug-proofing. (Thank You Elsie) While I like to think that I am reasonably handy, the installation process has me baffled. Apparently these things do not snap in. Do they need to be glued? If so, on which surface? 

While on the window shade subject... Are the black and white strings supposed to be on the inside (exposed) or the outside (hidden) of the white nylon strap?

It seems as though the problem has already been resolved,  see note from "Sharon is SAM" below.

After reading the instructions below, and using the putty knife method, I had this mod done in less than 30 minutes. In order to prevent gouging or scratching I used a plastic putty knife. (My front window (320) already had the fuzzies installed.)

Once again thank You forum members.

Check out the 3rd page of this TaB forum post. Just remove the long, white strip of thin plastic that rests under the black and white cord. That reveals a groove. Use the removed strip as a template to cut the Bug Fuzz to the same length. Start with one end of the new Fuzz and place the edge into the groove closest to the cords. Use a putty knife to push the opposite Fuzz edge into the groove - seats itself nicely. Slide that up all the way, then start the lower edge in the same manner. By sliding the Fuss up then down, you are able to clear the upper and lower edges of the window track that does not allow access with the putty knife. Very easily done. Good luck.

Mine (2015) never had the plastic insert in the groove to begin with. Makes me wonder why they (nuCamp or window shade manufacturer Horrex) bothered with the plastic insert rather than just upgrading directly to the fuzz.

Great job @BogieMeister, I still have to put mine in.  Got them about a week ago.  I’ve read most of the discussions in the past on this.  Just been lazy I guess.  In reference to your initial question, the answers are out there.  Just takes time digging them out with the right search question.  Good idea about the plastic tool..
