Smart child sun-shades?

[Nitrous]

You need to take a look at the specific thread for Members' Discounts in the General Discussion section of the forum. The first thread there is the one that relates to FRF in Swansea (although there are plenty of other providers who shouldn't be forgotten!).

I've just bought a complete set of the sunblinds for the back doors and boot of my V50 from FRF at a very reasonable price. I fitted them today and I'm very happy with them (they look just like the pic above!). So far the standard retaining clips seem to be working just fine - although FRF do say that they can sell additional clips for the sunblinds if people find that they need them.

The contact details for FRF are in the thread, as are the instructions for how to claim the Forum discount.

The original Volvo blinds are definitely worth getting.

You can still open the rear windows with them in but Volvo recommend 50mph max if you do.

I also have the eBay-esque ones on our Audi A2 (from Vanstyle IIRC). The side window ones were excellent but the rear window one was a terrible fit.

You get what you pay for I suppose.

Hi Iain could you tell me where you purchased your blinds from

I got mine from Murray Volvo in Edinburgh. They probably weren't the cheapest source but I only had a week to source some before driving the family to France so local dealer was the best option.

Does anyone know how the blinds fold? I've just removed mine from my S60 and sold them I need to post, but have no clue?????


Thanks in advance

Twist them. Just grab one side in one hand and the other in the other hand and twist them round. You'll see how they fold down. They won't stay folded unless you keep them flat either in their bag or in between a couple of bits of cardboard for shipping.
