Title: Sunblinds for 3dr?
Post by: swgti on November 02, 2011, 10:17:57 pm

Do VW do fitted sunblinds for the mk5 3dr? Can't find any on the website other than one for the boot window, If they do, does anyone know the part No's ? I've found some pretty decent ones elsewhere for about £85 for a full set but wondered if the VW ones might work out cheaper.

I doubt it. I had Vanstyle.co.uk in my 5dr. I think they do 3dr. :wink:

Don't get fooled by the picture that shows a 5-door:

Yeah they're the ones I've seen were they any good?

Very good, I had them in mine.
fit is spot on, and looks like a tint rather than blinds.

Are they for the rear side windows and the boot?
The fit looks great  :wink:

This is where Al's old 5dr blinds ended up.. in my car!

Read this thread to see how easy they are to fit.. (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,25329.msg330171.html#msg330171)

Just to give you an idea of what they look like in.. up close, you can see the weave of the blinds, a bit further back and they look like tints..  The rear window blind is in two halves so there is a line up the middle where they meet each other, but you quickly don't notice it.  Highly recommended!

Here's the link to the 3-door..

I think the VW ones shown are just for the rear side windows and that the VW rear one available doesn't 'fit' the window like the Palm Vanstyle ones do..
