• wherein mounting the magnetic attachment point on the window comprises securing a first magnet and a second magnet together on opposite sides of the window via the relative attractive magnetic forces between the first magnet and the second magnet, the first magnet being positioned on an interior side of the window and the second magnet being positioned on an exterior side of the window.

A window shade comprising:

• a first window magnet removably securable to a window;
• a shade portion having:
• a shade body;
• a boundary member extending from the shade body;
• and
• a shade magnet secured to the shade and collocated with the boundary member, the shade magnet engagable with the first window magnet to hold the shade portion on the window via respective magnetic attractive forces between the shade magnet and the first window magnet;
• and
• a second window magnet, the second window magnet being suitable to secure the first window magnet in position on the window by co-locating the first window magnet and the second window magnet on opposite sides of the window in an installed configuration.
