Difference VW shades vs. eBay Sonniboy Shades (from Germany)
From the link above, half way down are some video links to YouTube; I did not see anything real helpful. I can say the two videos shows different mounts, but it's for a GTI, which may be why the difference from what I have, with the Sonniboy (eBay) and the JSW.
In
video from link above, the side windows for this GTI show stick on channels. The ones I got for the JSW are slick, go UNDER the rubber molding, slipping onto the edge of the sheet metal under the rubber, no sticky clips. The idea is the same, the shade pops into and behind the clips.
In other
video from above link, for the rear window, shows two clips that go around the plastic interior edge, staying on the hatch, with the shade tucking behind it. Again for my rear shade, the clips pop onto the shade itself, tucking between the window and plastic molding when you slide the shade in, different a similar thing.
The other difference, video shows instructions drawn with technical illustrations, example inset sketches and some text. Again my instructions are actual photos and scant text. To be honest it is dirt simple to install.
The sides shipped folded in video. My sides shipped flat in a big flat box with the large rear shade. I might write the
www.climair.de company and ask if they fold.
The shades in video for the GTI and ones I have, for my "Golf Variant 5-Door", which is what they call the JSW in Europe, look the same. Does Sonniboy make the shades for VW? Don't know but I asked them.
Edit: Got an email back. The Sonniboy shades made by Climair.de are not the same ones VW sells. Someone else makes those. Also the Sonniboy side door window shades don't fold. Again, for the JSW, the lowest price VW accessory shades I could find, for the back set and side window sets, was approx. $260 and $80 respectively, plus shipping. I paid $268 total. So the VW ones are easily $100 more. If you go through the dealer at list price, it will be $100 over and above that. I am happy with the purchase and recommend them. Not sure if the JSW VW version uses the glue on clips, like the Golf or GTI, but I like the ones that came with mine, no stick on clips, uses slip on metal clips.
