I picked up a set for both cars a couple of weeks back - they've been really good, and although i do notice the line in the rear window, it didn't bother me after a day

Not really had much night driving since I fitted them. In darker light it's a bit harder to see, but then I have rear view mirrors.

I expect I'll remove the rear window ones in Winter when I do drive in the dark though - 30s job anyway

Hi, yeah I got them just working out how to put pics on, I've took a few and will put them on soon.

I am really impressed with the Sonniboy blinds, very fast delivery considering they came from Germany, the instructions are for the A4 and the Exeo which I liked, the blinds are very good quality and are very simple and quick to fit, just 3 clips on each. They look really smart on the car too.

I've had the back windows down on the motorway and they didn't fly out lol and the back window blind fits very snug, it just looks like tinted windows unless you get up close, it is of course darker through the rear view mirror and at night it is dark, i switched off the auto dip mirror, but like mork said you have wing mirrors so it's not a problem.

I would recommend these and am very glad I waited and paid the extra.

Hi, we'll my Exeo will be going at the end of Feb so I'm selling my Sonniboy window shades, I thought I would offer them on here first before I put them on eBay, these have been on less than a year and still look brand new, I think these really improve the look of the car and because they come with the shades for the quarter windows and the rear window is one piece so no annoying black line down the middle.

I'm looking for £100 plus I've been quoted £13 for delivery.

Why oh why do people not post photos of their mods! Little point in having given advice to forum members about a specific subject and not following it through with evidence! Rant over! only because Im looking to buy a set since 2 attempts at professionally tinting my rear windows have been an epic fail, with heated rear screen elements debonding and huge bubbles appearing immediately after the tint was applied!

I have the vanstyle ones mentioned above and I couldnt be happier with them. The rear window is two pieces, but you dont even notice the line down the middle.

Thanks, with them in place do they do a good job of restricting vision into the rear of the car? Have you any side pictures to show the degree of 'tint'?

They do an excellent job of restricting vision into the car, so much so I have to keep reminding myself that when I wave a 'thankyou' to the car behind me they cant actually see me wave, lol.

I shall take a few pics later as I am installing my wind deflectors, and will post pics as soon as I am able (not allowed to yet).
