Sorry to drag a bit of an old thread up, I`m just wondering how people have got on with these blinds after they`ve had them in use for a while. Still worth the money, are you happy with the quality? I`d considered tinting the rear half of the car but these blind may be just what I need.

I know that Saint Steve has them and is very pleased with them. Doubtless he'll be along soon to tell you himself.

Btw, no need to apologise for resurrecting an old thread - The info contained is just as relevant and helpful to people now as it was originally. Also, new people are continually joining the forum. :drinking:

Yes they are still good more than 12 months on. I have them in and and all the time and they still fit perfectly.  :happy2:

Have just ordered a set of these for my car and set for the wifes C-Max too. It works out £200 cheaper than tinting the windows on both cars!  :happy2:

They look like tinted windows from the outside but I wonder what they're like to see out of while driving at night (rear window particularly).

As dark as it is without robin  :chicken:

No issues with mine at all. Prefer them to screen/window tints.Same as anything new, in the mind at first but after a few weeks you forget they are there.

Also if you ever sell up, you can re-coup the cost by selling on  :wink:

Also helps vastly reduce wind noise in the back with the rear door windows wound down.

....That aspect of them sounds more attractive to me. I wouldn't want a rear window tint/shade.

I tried numerous times to get through to Palmautomotive/Vanstyle on the phone, when I did they dont have any instock although their website says they do. It could be a few weeks before they have them so I`ve put something up in the wanted section just incase anyone has a set for a 5 door that they no longer need.

Going to come in really handy now too with a nipper on the way. :jumpmove:

I talked them into a group buy last year, but nobody else wanted them, said they would do them for about 15% off retail if 5 people were interested.
May be worth getting in touch with them if you wanted to sort one out again.
I have a set in my 5 door, but I don't use the rear one, think it makes the rear view too dark at night.

Al, you could sell me your rear one then if you don`t use it?

Do you have to buy a complete set? I definitely won't want one in my rear window!
