adamski74 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I fancy getting these fitted and have seen them on audi accessories as aftermarket genuine parts. Has anyone fitted these? Is it a DIY or a dealer job? I have a B7 S-Line SE Avant. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwo Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I did too - quite interesting drilling into the metal!! Took about 15mins to fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "instructions" are just pictures, no words - worth spending time looking through them and at the blinds before you start drilling!

Scotty Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I took it slow and careful and marked it all out on masking tape and rechecked before drilling any holes. I then drilled and fitted them in no time. A really good mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeyboy Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Thought i would dig this one back up. Im thinking of obtaining a set of these rear blinds. Have any of you experienced any problems with them, are they securly fitted (ie a little one would have difficulty pulling them off) Are they really really easy to fit? Do they look good or do they stand out as an after market fit. Finally do they do the job of keeping the sun out as well as the stick on types ? Thanks.

mrbrown Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I just fitted a set last week and, as commented above, it is a bit worrying drilling into your new car - especially when the instructions aren't particularly clear. The problem, as you can see from the pics at the top, is the gap all round the edges. This is annoying as the sun seems to be forever getting into the kids' eyes. The only good thing about my previous V70 was that the blind covered the entire window. Still, the Audi ones are 10 times better than the square Halfords ones *Oh and I managed to break one of the lower clips so had to glue it in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeyboy Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Thanks - i did notice the gaps, although to be honest its less of a gap and they look a lot better than my current blinds: Didnt really want to go down the tint route as this causes permanent darkness in the back during dreary winter days. Plus i have lost count the number of time me and the missus have hit the rear window bottun by mistake and sent the rubber suction cup into the door, then spent then next 30 minutes getting it out again Have there been any long term issues that any of you guys that have had them fitted for a while experienced ?
