This will involve some serious cutting in the reardeck where the electric sunshade slides in not to mention all the electronics to your door with a button to open and close it. I think it can be done but it will be a very expensive operation.

I agree....I think that becuz of the costs it would not be worth it (and maybe even not viable) to retrofit the shades...........maybe you should consider getting dark tints........since I got my tints, I find it unnecessary to use any of my shades....

I think the manual sunshades for the doors can be retrofitted, but it would be hell to do it. The power sunshade for the rear window... Possible ? Yes... Expensive ? Hell yes ! Think about the labour... And that makes it ALMOST impossible to retrofit !
IMHO.
