Use mine all the time. There are any number of aspects of the e60 that I could complain about but the sun shades ain't one of them.

HA! oldest thread revival in the history of the Internet!

Replacing the sunshade:

remove the car door panel and trim around the window
unclip the sun shade and remove
insert new sunshade.

No kidding, I mean that was a full decade plus four months right there. I don't think I've ever seen anyone break the 10 year mark. Nice work Appbwg.

That's way we don't close these threads. There's always someone new who comes along who needs the information. We're thinking about putting up a warning though that you may not get a response from a particular poster. Most don't even look at the dates.

I looked at the date. Hope the "revival" isn't an issue...

seems that simple. Was hoping the shade retraction mechanism was serviceable and one of you veterans would share your experience.
New one on order from fcp. Be well.
Long live the thread revivers!

Not at all. Hopefully someone will offer you some direction.

No worries about the date. Just fun to find the oldest one I have ever seen.

I have done this sunshade work. Moved them from one car to another. Once the door card is open and window trim removed they slide out.

Heck no man, there's a lot of valuable information out there, it's why most forums keep threads open forever. The ones I do get a laugh out of though are the for sale threads that get an inquiry 6 years after they're posted.
