We abandoned the use of the sliding door blind as we got fed up with it being in the way if you need to exit the van at night & have gone with an isolite blind fixed to the door.

The thermal blinds are made up of 1 side consisting of a shiny silver foil surface which reflects the heat either away or into the van. The other side is a dark black layer to keep out the light. Inside the blinds are a series of air pockets to insulate the van.

I looked at these when searching for internal insulated blinds, but I can't be doing with suckers and suckers marks on the windows (yep, OCD I guess)
So I went for magnetic fixing blinds from Project Camper. The quality is excellent

I did the same but using butter! (Trace Amounts)
I got roughly the same results but was able to use clean kitchen roll to wipe runners until perfect.

Silicon spray may prove to be a little more tricky. You’ve reduced friction in the system. Fine sandpaper glued onto a lollipop sized stick may allow you to increase friction inside the runners and keep them in place.

I use these, for the same problem on the other side. I suspect in time the problem will diminish.

I find cigarette lighter fuel effective in removing over zealous silicone use.
