I'm not a huge fan of rear window tints, so the rear sunshade I had on my MK5 was something I was very thankful for.
I searched but wasn't seeing anything for 2 Door versions of the MK7, unless I wanted to pay $300 for the 4 Door pop-in ones and toss the 2 side shades.
Other than scouring ebay or the forums for someone with a set of the pop-ins that wanted to part with just the rear... pickings are slim in this category.
So I took the retractable shade from my Mk5, measured the space, and installed it in my Mk7
The edge of the housing sits pretty much flush with the edge of the trunk tray, and it doesn't interfere with the drawstrings that raise and lower the trunk tray.
The upper trim brackets even fit in the same place on the Mk7, but leave a slightly larger than desired gap at the top. This can easily be solved by shortening the bracket length which is next in this project.
So far, this is what I have... what do you guys think?
For reference, this is part number 1k0 064 360 and costs between $60-80 depending on where you find it.
