Two thoughts

#1 They make a FOAM cover for winter you could place over the opening(RV stores..Camping World)

#2 Cut a piece of the SILVER window covering you see for cars, (the kind you put in the front windshield-car stores, Wal-Mart) you get 2 advantages, it cut's the heat (in summer) and blocks the light
Just my 3 cents worth... no change required . . . lol

Rebecca,
I made a dark fabric padded square that fits the dimensions of the ceiling fan. I actually used double fabric with a bit of batting between them. I made a "buttonhole" in it so we could slip that over the big knob, and used the 3M removable contact strips to secure it to the fan when we want to darken the T@B. The velcro type contact strips are adhered to the edges of the fan and directly onto the fabric. The buttonhole thing helps hold it up there, too.

I would be concerned about using the velcro against the ceiling fabric that it might cause it to become "fuzzy" after time, but since I haven't tried that, I can't say it's so.
