Probably the wrong section of the forum for posting this info....

I didn't want to post in DIY, I don't have a tutorial, just pics...

So you couldn't pull the shade up and down anymore?

No, look at the 5th pic, the loop for one of the hangers broke and wasn't holding up the shade properly. Not a big deal, but I have OCD problems...

Wow nice! I want to do this too, is it difficult?

Not hard at all and I never removed the door panels on this car. The hardest part was removing the piece that covers the actual shade because I there are no screws holding it in, I had to find all the places where it snapped in. There are no screws holding the actual roller shade in either, just clips.

nice danny, hope things are well.

do you happen to have the part on the plastic piece on the door that the blinds go through?

HRC · 09-05-2010, 12:49 PM

Things are better and improving so all is not lost. Are you talking about the hooks on top of the door? The shade part only came by itself, no extra hooks.

+1

would like to know the same thing. By looking at the pics it seems like you would just need the roll up bit at the bottom, a new top ledge and the clips at the top?

Yoshii · 09-05-2010, 07:24 PM

that would be cool if you can retrofit that into place...i wasn't able to get that option on my car...the dealer didn't have one with the sunshades...

..if its possible to do it on my car, i might have to get it done...

Strange!
I am doing the retrofit on a 2011 that came with shadeless door panels.

It seems for the E9x vehicles some door panels have the shade housing (and shade) glued directly to the door card but other vehicles like yours have the shade clipped to the door frame with the housing for the shade hanging off the clips and the door card just clipping into the frame and covering the entire shade assembly like a sandwich!

VERY interested in this retrofit as well. Would you happen to have a parts list? Ive found the shades themselves, but can't seem to find any info about the hooks at the top of the windows.

The hooks are a pain. I can't believe they aren't just part of the trim. BMW attached them with these easy to lose metal clips.

Awesome thank you.

So, you need the shades, the trim, and the hooks? Anything else?

Serf27 · 09-20-2021, 11:21 AM

You need the hooks and small retainers that the hooks slide into.
