S40 (New) General : - Rear sun blinds

iainmd · May 3rd, 2013, 11:04

Bit of a leftfield query. I have the OEM sunblinds in my S40 which cover the rear door windows and the rear screen. I was looking for ones for the small rear quarter windows to complete the look. Volvo used to do them (part 30664206) but they've discontinued them so my options are few.

The Vanstyle UK ones (via eBay) come with the rear quarter window blinds but it seems a bit wasteful to spend £60 odd quid on a set of those just to get 2 wee blinds and not use the rest. I contacted Vanstyle when we had an Audi A2 to ask, since they manufacture in the UK at their own factory, if they'd sell me a part set but they were unwilling to do so.

Anyone got any ideas there?

In the end I may end up having to buy a full set of theirs and then sell the remaining set of blinds.

I'm after a set of rear blinds and I'm not fussed about the little ones. If you buy a new set might have your old ones off of you

Matt,

I may well take you up on that. I'll decide in the next couple of days whether or not to order a new full set.
