Rear Side Window Sunshades
I didn't even know that MB made rear side window sunshades until I read about the discontinued-for-2020 Sun Protection Package. Here in SC I /have/ to order the power rear window sunshade, but wish it came with the rear side window sunshades and additional sun visors of the Sun Protection Package. I'm considering an E450 vs BMW 540i, and this is one area where the Bimmer excels.
Does anyone know if rear side window sunshades can be purchased separately? Not the stick-on kind, but ones that work like the ones in the above package for the E? I assume they haven't changed the doors any, and something could be fitted. Anyhow, I'd like to know what is available for it.

That is one reason I bought the acoustic comfort package. There is no IR heat transfer through the glass which eliminates the need for those sight reducing roller blinds.

That's great, but it appears either they changed it for 2019, or the description is wrong.

Does anybody know why the 2020 wagons can no longer be configured with the Acoustic Comfort Package (which includes the insulated glass, etc.)? Will it be a late availability option (due to supplier issues)? My 2019 has it and just assumed the 2020 models would offer the same mix of packages. Seems strange for MB to omit this one.

You can still get the Acoustic Comfort Package, but it is considered a Special Order option for 2020, and thus has an additional $250 special order fee. Therefore also it is not included on the web site configuration tool I ordered it on my 2020 wagon, and while the DOG describes the extra fee, my dealer did not include it in the order. It may be on the invoice, so we'll have to see.

Special order items usually mean the car must be moved away from the normal production line, causing additional handling costs, etc. And this is done to items that don't see that well or often. Even my dealer said " a Mercedes isn't quiet enough for you??"

Extra profit for little extra work is what I suspect.
