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..

Any chance for pictures?

We have one of after market throw over mesh things. Paid $15 for two of them from Target. They work great and I think they look fine. For what they are and how long you need them I don't think you need to pay any more.

It actually fits great on the Tiguan as it is a very square door. Doesn't fit so well on my Vectra but I have just used a couple of bobby pins on the inside to take up the slack. Can still use the windows on both cars if I desired.

I am thinking of getting the OEM shades too, I will post the prices if someone else doesn't first!

I'd prefer the OEM jobbies too. I'm one of those people that prefer a more integrated look, and they certainly look like they're meant to be there. They're an absolute joy to fit, too
