Hey folks, I'm seeing if there's any interest in a set of custom-fit sun shades for an MK4 Jetta Wagon. I made them myself by tracing all the windows with paper and then using the paper as a guide to cut a few of those universal windshield shades down to size. These are made of the silvery bubble-wrap type material, pre-creased for easy folding. They fit perfectly into the window frames so that they stay put without any additional support, except for the windshield one which has to be supported at the top edge by flipping down the visors.
I made them so that I could sit with people in my car at summer music festivals without roasting ourselves like turkeys, and they do a fantastic job of keeping the interior cool while also providing total privacy from every angle. Unfortunately I had to sell my Jetta, so I no longer have any use for them. I really don't want to throw them away, so I'm hoping someone out there might find them useful. I'm only asking $20 OBO (much less than I paid for the materials) plus actual shipping unless you're in the Gainesville / Ocala, FL area and want to pick them up.
I can provide pictures if necessary, but I think the concept is pretty self-explanatory, and I no longer have the car to show how they fit. Thanks for looking!
Edit: Crap, just saw the rule about pictures. Will take one and upload asap.
