are you talking about the rear window blinds? The factory option is electrical but they also do a manual version of the blind? Is it one of the two you are after?

cheers

I'm just curious to all those who are thinking of doing this retrofit (myself included). I know most of us have our windows tinted, but how much more sunlight/heat would this dissipate? Is it worth it?

Is it possible to retrofit the electronic sun visor too?

How does manual work?

I would assume you could retrofit the OEM electronic one, but it would take a crap load of wiring and probably cost a lot of money to do.

The manual is...well..manual..you manually pull it up and down when needed.
