Rear sunshade 07 Touring

[BlueAva]

Where can I find a manual rear sunshade, the ones that can be pulled down on sunny days? I've looked on Google, but couldn't find anything. Please direct me to the correct website.

Thank You

I bought one of these, the quality is pretty good. But I need to drill 4 holes into the black plastic in the rear, which I have not done. Don't really want to drill into the black plastic panel as it may crack. I tried superglue and it did not stay.
As of this moment, it is still sitting in the garage.

that look pretty good for the price.
I wish they make something like this for side windows. The 1 piece square one from the baby store just doesn't fit. When is the last time we have square windows? Oh, those suction cups suck, they work for short time and will keep falling off!!

For $45 shipped, the rear sunshade is a steal. The only bad thing is having to drill into the rear plastic. I need to figure out a way to mount it without having to drill.

[grandpapa]

are they using suction cups on the top?

[lexsc4]

No suction cup. More like a plastic male/female connectors and you have to insert to the male into the female end.

Thanks for the reply. Why do you have to drill holes? Don't the suction cups stick on the glass? Also when you install it onto your car, do you mind posting a picture of it?

I am not talking about the TOP part of the shade. It is the BASE of the shade which has 2 holes on the right and 2 holds on the left side, which you need to drill 4 holes in order to attached to the rear plastic.

I have not done the install yet since I already have 20% tint, but I might install it before taking a trip before a long road trip.

So does it come with instruction on where you need to drill the holes? It may be hard to drill from the rear deck due to the sloppy rear windshield.

Can you share some photos?

[lexsc4]

The instruction does not tell you where you need to drill the holes. So drill wherever you like. Again, I have NOT done my install yet since I am afraid it will crack the rear plastic behind the headrest.

So far I have tried super glue and Gorrilla Epoxy but both came off after a day. I am going to try automotive grade 3M double side tape and see it will stick. If that doesn't work, $45 wasted is no biggie.

(even drilling holes, I don't think the plastic will crack)
I am pretty sure glue or tape aren't going to work once the temp heat up inside.

What about using the childseat tether on the rear deck? Can you somehow mod the sunshade kit so you can use the tether as an anchor?

[lexsc4]

let me see if the tether anchor will work. Will check it out tonight.

If not, I might just take the plunge and drill it. But I do want to make sure I can get access to underneath the plastic so I can secure it with two nylon lock nuts on each side. (it comes with four real short flimpsy screw and no locking nuts).

I just bought, its on its way!
