coco135

I know they have the bolt on ones on the E/C not sure about your car though, I have never seen them. I will try to remember to look it up for your. Just shoot me a PM if you don't hear back from me

The ones from the link cannot be OEM, at least for a W221. Your dealer was probably talking about OEM blinds. You need different door panels for the original blinds.

i am not looking for the oem ones. the one from the link are fixed sun blind that cannot be rolled down i am looking for something like that that will cover the entire window.

and no, i am not interested in window tint ;-)

Difficult task!!!

coco135

I thought so!

DB those are a factory accessory on a different car, but they are not available on the W221 sorry coco.

if it exists from the factory, then it exists, and mbenznl can probably do the install

I have a 220 and asked at the dealer about retrofitting the factory side blinds. It's very possible, just extremely expensive. You basically need two new door interiors, and the estimated price was 4K-5K. Tint is 350 max, and First Step baby blinds are about $25

After looking for sooo long i decided to custom make them.

if anyone is interested i can make them for you too.

Will post pictures tomorrow.

i_am_amused

I'm definitely interested, looking forward to the photos

what was your cost to build?

Also, I have a 2004 220, not a 221. how hard would it be to adapt?

thanks

Interested in this too... looking forward to pics.

There were some curtain type universal fit shades on Ebay but cant seem to find them now... They slid on plastic tracks held to the window trim by 3M strips...

coco135

sorry guys was out of town and it is night time so tomorrow i promise!

coco135

Here are the pictures.

i did it in my factory and i will start to distribute then in 4-6 month.

if you are interested in getting them sooner, i can have them ready in 3 weeks (if i will get at least 10 orders).
The cost is $95 for both sides (rear only)

As you can see in the Pictures they got a very thin Hook that allow the shade to go up and down with the window, you can roll down your window on the freeway and the shade will not cripple or move.

well done, those look good.

how does it attach at the base of the window?

coco135

3M double sided tape that can easily be removed.

It looks really dark, It would be difficult to see inside the car therefore creating attention for cops.

I know that some one already asked this question but I saw no reply.
How hard is it to make it for the 220? I have a 2005 S 500.

coco135

First it is dark because the pics were taken at night time, it exactly the same fabric like the rear shade (the retractable one).
Second, it is the rear side windows so you can go as dark as you'd like.

HiTach

I use the factory side and rear blinds on my S550 to act like tinting and give a bit of extra security by darkening the rear interior compartment when parked. I always liked that feature of the tinting on my MLs. However, I think the retractable blinds give the passenger more flexibility on using the sunshade or not than fixed tinting.

Also, I have my programmable button on the console set to raise or lower the rear blind.

Top marks for the retrofit, but if you have the chance, select the factory blinds for perfect integration.

coco135

Strongly agree with you, but... this is as close as it can get since retrofitting the oem ones are 4k-5k. now, lets take that vs. $100 i think it is a pretty good substitution.

But again...if you are ordering your new benz make sure you are getting the oem ones

Wondering if you still selling this rear sunblinds for w221 please let me know I'm really interested.. thanks alot
