Rear E70 Window Screen Install?
 

I noticed getbmwparts.com has this available and was wondering if anyone actually has installed it?
My X5 came with the side window screens, wonder why the rear was not also included as in my E90.

Rear sunshades come with the rear climate package I believe, or possibly it's been moved into the convenience package for 2012.

I thought I'd miss it since I had them on my E53, but I got 20% rear tint on top of the privacy glass which has proven to be super-effective at cutting glare and heat.

I got the side shades, but I was told the rear was not available, then I saw them on at getbmwparts.com for sale. :dunno:

can anybody post a picture of the rear shade ? I never seen one.
is it motorized, or manual like on the rear doors ?

I have 30% tint on the rear, and it does wonders keeping the car cool and for extra privacy, but the shades would be nice as an option.

No, its not electrical, nor manual. It just clips to the back of the rear window, along with the side panels.

It does match the rear manual shades though.

I have it for my dog, and seems to keep it cool back there. Adds additional privacy, and overall looks (imo) pretty good.

Was one of the first things I did with the car. I had the rear sunshade in my m3 and missed it in the x5.

I bought the same set of shades for my X5 after I saw apw2607"s original post two years ago! They make the factory tint seem a little darker, I like them!

Thanks apw2607!

Thank you for posting.....I appreciate it.
Ill be ordering one now. Thanks again.:thumbup:
