current model Tiguan - rear window shades

[tig18u]

Hi all, recently took a delivery of MY11, very happy with the car.

I have tint all around but find that sun still gets to kids eyes in the baby seat (rear facing mount) and so i was wondering if anybody on the forum here had gone about getting them rear window shades.

- OEM or
- aftermarket option (dark mesh shade over window)

user feedback would be most welcome.. at the loss which way to go. Thank you.

Maybe have a look on ecstuning/ebay to see if they have anything
Most likely will be a lot chepaer than dealer stock.

Hope you can find a solution.

We have the OEM rear sunshades and are loving them. they fit and look so well. You can still open the windows to let air in and from the outside it looks like the rear windows have darker tint. ( the mesh fits perfectly inside the car on the window frame)

They are much better than the common window sox you see on the road.

thats encouraging feedback thanks.

- do you recall pricing ?
- where did u source the kit ?

Sorry don't know that price as we got it from the dealer with the other list of options. perhaps call the parts department of a VW dealer and ask. They are held in place by a couple of clips that are stuck to the window fram by some double sided tape, you can remove the shades, fold and store in a bag provided and small enough to fit in the glove box when not in use. We have never taken them out though so info is from the dealer's explanation on delivery.

I have a feeling that they are cheap as they included the sunblinds at the bottom of the invoice with no price attached. you should have ask the dealer to throw it in since you have bought a long list of options..

Hi All,

My wife and I have our first baby due in 1 week (ahhh). We have 2011 Tiguan... Anyone recommend a good sun shade and where to buy?

Thanks in advance!

Did you see the genuine ones? There is a thread about them, you have to search for it, also look in sticky index.

Thanks for your quick response. I've just had a look in the sticks and also done a search but can't find it. Sorry to be a pain. Can you send me the link to the thread you're referring to?

Thanks again!

I am in the same boat, new Tiguan delivered yesterday, baby due in May. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on these:
Volkswagen Tiguan 5 Door 2008-
Pricey, but considering they cover all rear windows they might be good value. Has anyone had experience with these?
