Rear sunshade retrofit?

Dazza335iC · 08-25-2017, 10:32 AM

I'm wondering if it's possible to retrofit the rear power sunshade and/or the side window sunshades in to a car that didn't originally come with them.

I imagine that for the side window shades, I'd need new door cards with built-in shades, and then I'd have to add the hook at the top of the door frame. But the rear power shade is another matter. Is it built in to the parcel shelf?

If anyone has done/seen this conversion before, please chime in!

I'm sure you can if you can find all the parts from a donor car, panels, harness etc. Too much of a headache for a shade if you ask me, mine has it and I never use it
