DIY car Rear roller Sun Shade for kids and car seats.

2014-05-12

 My Corolla is my daily driver. That also means driving the kids around town. At the moment I'm running tint free to keep the police less suspicious of my Levin but I had to find a way to keep the sun off the kids while sitting in the back seat. I tried a set of sun shades from BabiesRUs but that was a big fail. I ended up finding a sun shade for a 2006 VW Passat part# 3C0 064 360 that worked. The original price was $90 but now you can pick them up from ColorSmart  for $5. The quality is very nice and looks very OEM and is pretty much fully extended. It was easy to install. Just two screws mounted into the rear speaker shelves. If your worried about the holes they are hidden under the rear speaker grills if you ever decide to remove the sun shade. Plus two hooks that slip behind the upper hatch roof molding. It took me five minutes to install. My cargo cover still has freedom of movement and can be removed. But the sun shade will come in contact with the average height adult passenger's head in the back seat due to the angle of the sun shade. So I would only recommend it for short passengers and car seats.
