GREAT find! I have the factory door sunshades (in addition to Huper Optik ceramic tint), but may try these for the quarter windows and rear glass.

You can open the window and Sonniboy remains unchanged in this protecting position. Insects and sun have no chance. This was testet with 180 km/h.

This doesn't seem like much of a difference in heat rejection, but I guess every bit counts (and it certainly enhances privacy/security).

Thanks for posting those... I like them

You don't have to pay the VAT (Value Added Tax) if it's shipped to the US. The price is cheaper than factory (no power for the rear though).
If these are well made and stand up to the test of time, they are a better solution to the factory option (IMO).

Sub-Total: 167,23 EUR
Shipping: 35,00 EUR
Total: 202,23 EUR

Sub-Total: $235.69
Shipping: $49.33
Total: $285.01

YEEAAAHHH I think I'll stick with dark window tint to shade my kid before I drill holes in my door panel and sill. But to each his own.

I just bought the cheapie blinds - they are only for a road trip. I definitely do not want those things in my regular daily drive. Blech!
