Sunblinds for rear doors. - a900ss
Hi,

I have a Ford S-Max and now that the sun has arrived i really need some sunblinds for the reardoors to stop the sun going in my babies eyes and to keep her cool. The problem I have is that the door windows are HUGE on the S-Max and a standard sunbline covers only about 1/3 of the window!!! I know that I could fit multiple roller blinds but I am also keen on being able to lower the window whilst still having the blind up if possible.

I know that you can get window sox but they need to be taken on and off everytime you go out in the car.

What I am looking for is either custom made blinds, very large blinds or a manufacturer that will sell me a roll of the material so that I could cut it myself and velcro it to the door frame. Or any other novel idea that owners of cars with large rear windows have come up with. (Please don't suggest a blanket tucked into the window fram)

Any help is most welcome.

How about coating the rear windows with "privacy glass" foil as in:

or the like?

Why not get the rear windows tinted?

Alternatively a local window blind manufacturer will have material - I'd be wary of blocking it completely. We have a shade which came free with a magazine and it is perforated, but seeing through it when reversing is difficult.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
