Factroy rear window shades?

Wife's car doesn't have any built in, are there factory inserts? If not factory, anyone got a source for some professional grade custom shades? I prefer something that is easily removal, that clips in or something similar. Any recomomendations?

Retrofit available from dealer, for a cost sensible solution a donor car is your best bet.

Retrofit? Are they the built in kind? I was thinking they would be the clip in kind. Either way, any recommendations on where I might find a donor car?

OEM ones come out from the top door trim so new trim pieces would be needed along with shade hardware.
Make calls to a few junkyards someone somewhere crashed his w211 and the shades are sure to survive.

Thanks. Chances of finding them in a salvage yard around here are really slim. I'll try to source online or eBay or something.

Edit: actually looks like there are some factory aftermarket shade that are much more reasonable. Going to check with them tomorrow.
