My C-Class came with the power rear sunshade and I purchased a pair of oem fixed rear side sunblinds. I only use them when my son is riding at the back but otherwise I take it off, it partially blocks my view when I'm looking over my shoulders to the back.

There is another thread about this subject that goes into further detail. The guy even took pictures of the rear shades, from the outside of the car and from the inside. I have been thinking about getting some myself. I will see if I can find the thread it was posted about a month or two ago.

You can find OEM rear shades.

Dissregard the previous message, you are trying to find fixed REAR shades.

You can find OEM rear shades.
I've tried searching but whilst I found it for the E-class I couldn't find the C-class thread, I'm interested in either fixed or electric, my main concern on the electric ones is the cost.

I very much disliked the OEM accessory side blinds and what they did to driver visibility. Dangerous.
