Hello,

Iam ordering the original rear roller blind (DEA610001) and side sun blinds (KCD609004) for the octavia ii fl hatch

For the rear roller sunblind.....do i have to drill holes in the parcel shelf or does it just fit somewhere?! And will it be like the factory fit?

As for the side ones....how do they stick to the window?

Regards,

The price is dealer fit. They won't supply just as parts for you to fit.

We have these thanks to eBay from a crashed motor, and I had a hell of a job getting a dealer to supply the hooks and the template to mount them. The template, in the manual has in bold letters not for customer fitment

I'll get some pics later for you.

Blinds for side windows are easy. There are a series of clips which just push into place around the window frame IIRC and the blind just clips into them.

Sarge.

Thanks sarge

Thanks gadgetman

I will be ordering them online and my local dealer will have nothing to do with them.....thats why iam worried about the rear drilling....can anyone confirm that it aint drilled, just fixed like the side ones?

Welcome to Briskoda. Have you considered the VanStyle UV sunshades which some members really like and will save you serious money? They are currently reduced. The set includes fixed sunshades for the rear window rather than a roller blind.

The van style blinds are very much a compromise - but are fairly cheap. I went tints but if I hadn't then I'd have been torn between the van style blinds and the skoda ones at about twice the price (but higher quality).

I got the shades and roller blind for my first vRS and transferred them into my next two.

As above, the shades have clips that attach to the window frame under the rubber seal. I wouldn't bother with shades for the rear window as they come in two pieces and fall off everytime you shut the boot.

The roller blind screws onto the parcel shelf; that's the easy bit. The hard bit is attaching the hooks that hold it up into the top of the interior boot trim. They're not self tapping screws on the end; it's screw and bolt so you need to remove the boot trim which is easier said than done!

Had a similar experience with a bumpet protection strip for my old Fabia vRS estate. In my naievity I thought it was self adhesive.....which it was to an extent. However it also required bonding to the car with VAG specific materials and fitting templates that didnt come with the part.

Fortunately I have a mechanic friend who is a dab hand as such things, he bought the adhesive and templates from TPS for me and fitted it. He pretty much charged me cost price but dread to think what a dealer would have charged to fit it.

Thank you all....iam now considering light tinting since i dont want any playing around with the trim

I'm sure my hooks were self tapping. Either way +1 on getting the boot trim off being a royal PITA

How much would the roller blind cost you online?

Skoda charge around £90 iirc and this includes fitting which iirc the instructions I had said 40mins to fit. Took me 3 hours!

Prices with delivery to home:

Side blinds for 112 £

Rear for 47£

Is that side blind price right? Thought the dealers charged less?

Rear blind seems cheap though
