Genuine MB Sun Shield / Shade? Any opinions?
Living in Southern California and having a good sun shield is a real necessity when it comes protecting car’s interior from excessive heat and harmful UV rays. I have been using a ‘cheapo’ shield for the last 12 months but would like to upgrade to something more custom-made. I called MB dealer and got a quote for a genuine Mercedes sun shield designed specifically for W211. The quote was $54 plus Tax. There are other companies on the market that offer custom made shields for W211. For instance, here is a link to one:

It is $5 cheaper than MB but price is not a real factor here. I wanted to see if anyone on this forum uses MB shield and whether you’d recommend to buy it at all.
Thank you.

The MB one fits great and is worth the extra money...I Would just save the money and buy a Car cover to protect the WHOLE car

I was given a complimentary MB sun shield from the dealer when I purchased the 03 211 and continue to use it with the CLS, definitely durable, and I recommend it. Take note of my location as this may assist in your decision process. Not an expensive accessory nevertheless contact fellow member KYBENZ https://mbworld.org/forums/members/28130-kybenz.html for cost comparison.

I got mine today and must say that it's a very nice, solid-built and great fitting shield. Definitely worth the money!
