The later version matches what everyone else have been using since 1985. You guys and gals who have the folded blind shade with gears must remove that thing and HIDE it in the garage. Eye sore, not a cover for the "good stuff" in the back.

Recommendation: Replace with the upgraded later version. EBay part out specials.
