| Could you take a picture from inside looking back or through the rear view mirror. I've been tempted by these for a while but i think the split down the middle of the back window would bug me. Cheers Dave. |

I also found it more difficult to judge distance etc when reversing with them fitted. I'm gonna re-fit them this week to see how I get on with them in brighter (hopefully) weather | |

Cheers for that but the one's in the fabia back window are made up of two seperate halves with a join down the middle. It's that what i want to see from the inside to see how distracting it is etc. Cheers Dave. | |

| ooops Note to self, "read entire post before commenting", I am off to stand in the corner and give myself a good bollocking ![]() I never realised the furby ones were split down the middle, you can't really see it in the pics of the silver furby. In the octy they are pretty good I must admit, probably one of the best accessories I have fitted with having young kids etc. |

| I recently got a set of OE Sunshades for my Focus, so far I've only fitted the ones over the side windows and quarter lights, but they've made a fair bit of difference. ![]()

| See if you could just order the side window ones Dave, and then buy the Skoda sunshade for the Fabia; fits onto edge of the parcel shelf right behind the back seats, and two clips that fit into the roof panel. Steve

| Hmm, this gives me an idea for the Octavia (MK1). With baby coming along soon i'm guessing these would be a lot cheaper than getting the windows tinted. Have already told the Mrs that I refuse to have those blinds with stupid faces on that just stick to the glass ![]() Any body know the part numbers/ prices for these? James

| This is the company that make them OESunshades. I'm pretty sure you can just order the ones for the side windows if you want. I got the full set (rear windows and sides including quarter lights) for £120 delivered.

| Thanks for that. It'll cost me £150 to get the windows done, so undecided what way to go. |

| The Fabia ones could well be cheaper than the Focus as there is less to them. Best bet it to drop them an email or give them a ring. Also when you done with the the car you can sell the shades on separately ![]()

| They just fit tightly around the edge of the window frame, they do come with some clips but I've not used them yet. One of the other plus points is you can still open the windows with the blind in place without letting the sun in ![]()

| No they don't rattle, and are a good fit.

| I gave OE Sunshades a call (or was it an e-mail ) as they don't list prices on thier website and happened to mention Briskoda and the possibility of other intereseted parties and they offered a 10% discount IIRC.That said and done I bought mine secon hand from Paxton before he sold his fabia ![]() |
