Grab some pics of the fittings and stuff if you can Nige. Do you think they would work on rooflights? Is there an obvious way to screw it if you need to?

there are no fittings just the sticky strip on one end,and there's a plastic thing which clips on to the pleats to hold it where you want .
it would work on roof lights if it had a track each side for support . if you want to try it i've got a load of white plastic angle to make tracks

Would small electrical trunking not work better, the type which has the clip on lid. That way you have a channel for tge pleats to run in.

yep ,that'd work .i made some up with angle ,but think the trunking probably easier and better . the bllind is about 32mm , a couple of small clips would hold it where you want it .

I like this. I've often fancied a set of fancy pleated windscreen blinds, but so expensive. Inspired to go DIY.
