As mentioned previously, I think by myself the ones from Palm are ones that sourced from OE sunshades. I have a set to collect today (palm ones), I will let you know how I get on with them.

Received my sunshades from Palm today - very nice indeed, no self adhesive clips as someone suggested, all clamp on under the seals. Same product as OE sunshades.

I would be interested to see how the clips hold up when driving with the window down, perhaps you could report back James when you have tried them.

I also notice they are cheaper by going direct (rather than through eBay)

they should fine, the frame of the shades is very taught. I never open my windows, I prefer to use the climate, so shouldn't be a problem.

I might get a set of OE shades.

James what are they like for looking out the back when reversing.

you can still see through, but visibility is restricted, its just like looking through fine mesh.

No self adhesive clips for the Octy II hatbatch, all clamp on ones that fit under the 2 rear passenger door seals, and the ones for the hatchback fit underneath the plastic surround, they just rest there.

My sunshades arrived today and im very impressed with them. They took about 5 minutes to fit ,and look very professionally made. The only problem i had ,was the rear hatch cover came off, and its a pain in the *** to get back on again . By the way ,these were the ones from e-bay from Palm automotive.

Bought a set of these last week... Skoda Octavia 5dr 04- CAR SUN SHADES BLINDS TINT on eBay, also Other Exterior Styling, Exterior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 14-Feb-09 12:29:40 GMT)

Just fitted them this morning...took 5 mins as per instructions!

Looks good from the outside. Even fitted the rear window blinds even tho I have a roller sun blind that came factory fitted.

Will have to see what its like with driving with them in, ie windows down, visibility and how it affects the auto dimming rear view mirror and wing mirrors.

But so far so good

Hi guys, it says 4pc kit. What doesn that cover? I want the two rears and the hatch which would be a 3 piece wouldnt it?

[Tomo1971]

Isnt the rear one split down the center to accounf for the curve of the glass?

what Tomo1971 just said. Got mine from OESunshades and fitted them today - piece of cake, although I think the rear clips could be a little longer as they appear to pop out quite easily. I have spoken to the chap at OE (Stephen Giles) and he has the best customer service I have encountered recently and he is sending me out some longer clips to try. Can't recomment OESunshades enough!

EDIT: The rear blind I also believe is split to stop it sagging over time.
