sunshades
Intalled this a week ago, as anybody else done this? Installation was very simple. It keeps the car cooler, specially with the 100+ temps these past couple of days in the bay area.

I agree. I got one but
I returned it after I see how difficult to lower the window. You have to take the shade manually. its PITA. SO I had my window tinted instead
It's look nice thou, when installed

[QUOTE]I have this...
how you install the last clip... last you open your door cover... and install the handle clips....
let me know....
The handle clips grasp a little ledge bewteen the weatherstrip and the door. The bottom clips are done with screwdiver and pressure, on this you must have the plastic handles attache to the metal piece. Hope this helps.
BTW, the car is already tinted (blue tint), this is extra shade for hot days.

I can lower the windows without taking the shades of... maybe it's a different design. Shades will stay in place with the windows rolled down, to take the shades off there are two clips on top with pull handles (tape like piece of plastic). I don't have good experience with tints, this cost me $100/pair and I get the results I want.

This is where you need the screw driver and pressure. Place a piece of plastic between the window (small window) and the screwdriver than apply some leverage on the metal piece. It seems difficult but it will go into place.

I hope u're not talking about the so called "tint" (aka a bluish hue) that comes with Sports pkg sedans. I mean like a real tint...say like 30-35% in the front 2 windows, and 20% in the rears and back (at least thats the legal limit in TX, dunno about your state).

Hi, all.
We have them on ours. Does anyone find them to be a problem when driving, looking back over your left shoulder out the rear left window, and trying to merge to the left. At an extreme angle, you can barely see through it.

no problem.
I know what you mean, but I don't find it difficult to see. I speed up when changing lanes to make sure I don't cut anybody off.

Do you have writeup/instructions on the led's. Can you tell me exactly what to order.
Thanks -
