Title: Window Blinds - OE or aftermarket
Post by: JC on 01 October 2014, 19:52
Whose got some blinds fitted, last 2 cars I ran them, but they had a join ( 2 piece )  in the rear window.

I am lead to believe the VW blind is a one piece set up ?

All views welcomed !

Your car has privacy glass tho'  :huh:

I had one of the very first sets from OEM Sunshades in my B5.5 Passat. They were great, but as the kids got bigger, they started to complain about them, saying they weren't babies anymore. I took them out and and the car looked so wrong, so had the windows tinted to match the factory privacy glass.

Does the GT not come with auto dimming rear view mirror?
I know mine had it but I can't remember if it was an added extra.
Certainly stops being blinded from the rear.

Yes it does. GT's had the Convenience Pack, which was auto lights and wipers along with the dimming mirror.

If the rear glass is not dark enough for your liking why not get it tinted darker, better than blinds  :wink:

Ran tinted cars for years.

Blinds are better, especially when having to reverse in/out of dark alleys  :shocked: which I sometime frequent  :huh: :laugh:
