[C5 X7] For those of you that have them, what are the rear blinds / sun shades like?

Unread post by the-termin8r »

Hi all,

I was considering potentially retrofitting these to mine, but the prices for second hand ones are stupid. So instead I figured I'd ask to see if I'm missing anything special. Are the blinds any good? Do they actually reduce the sun light to a tolerable level? If you drive a saloon, does the big rear one block your view significantly or can you see through the perforations fairly clearly? How does the blind compare to just the dimming of the rear view mirror?

Cheers.

Is this side windows or rear screen?
CX’s had the rear screen blinds and they were always very effective at reducing glare etc.
My X7 has the side rear blinds, which I haven’t felt the need to use tbh, since glare on that isn’t an issue for driving (it’s a tourer and has the extra tinted rear glass) and I don’t have kids.

Both, though as a driver the side ones are irrelevant.
