Hi guys,
I have an '04 530i and I was wondering if there was somewhere to get rear sunshades put on my car. Any websites around? Thanks

Did you have one? Are you replacing one? Do you need it automated or do you just want to pull it up and down? Check www.realoem.com or the stealership... Google search or eBay?

I have Nigel's side and wing shades and they are high quality, as advertised, and very easy to fit.

Did you have to take apart the door panels to install the window screens? How does the back window screen get installed? Do you have a sedan or a wagon?

I never found a US source, got them from Nigel shipped across the pond.

No need to tear apart your door cards, they snap into the window frame with clips. Down side, obviously, is that they are fixed so don't roll up and down. I keep them in full time in the spring / summer months and remove during the fall / winter. My kids like them in the summer, keeps them cool and they can still see outside. I don't have the rear, I do have a BMW OEM manual rear sunshade that I have had sitting around for a year, haven't gotten to that project yet,
