Talking Found a DIY rear window sunshade that fits the C300
I have old eyes that can no longer take bright headlights, even with my auto dim mirrors. My old W204 had the motorized rear window sunshade and I miss it.

The closest thing I could find was the Shade Styx ERT-RW39 Black Universal Rear Window Sunshade Kit, which was only $69 on Amazon. it's not motorized, but it fits and works great. Doesn't require any drilling, cutting or permanent damage to your car.



Actual shade in my car.

No, you get two pairs of hooks (two different styles) that hook into the roof trim (without damaging it)
