    On a side note...some window makers may void your warranty if you have them tinted. I was afraid Jeld Wen might. All of our homes window are not tinted, just the large ones in the Great room than generate the most heat. Up until these last failures the previous ones had been un-tinted. 2 of 3 that failed recently were tinted. They replaced them and did not say a word, so I was relieved. I only thought the 2 tinted had failed but when they came out they went ahead and checked them all and replaced a third one that I had not even noticed.

    Duane, my living room(where my B&Y chair will go,) has 1 huge window in it and French doors out to the patio on another wall. Both of these windows have 1.5" wooden Venetian blinds on them & are almost always left open. I don't think my building's mgmt would allow me to alter the windows using solar panels. I saw you mention Leather Magic's SPF 80 product in a few posts...would you mind explaining the advantages & disadvantages of using a product like that in lieu of the solar panels when you get a chance, please?

    That product has a sunscreen in it they tell me. I know if you put it on to heavy it will spot, but I really have not used it myself.

    Ok, it sounds like these solar panels & closing blinds, shades, & drapes during the day are the best precautionary measures to prevent sun damage like this. I'll go to Leather Magic's site & try to learn more about the SPF 80 product. It sounds like something I'll need to apply lightly(on an aniline pull up,) & just get in the habit of closing the blinds during the day when I'm gone.
