The only factory option my car doesn't have other than DRCC and LKA.

I retrofitted the lux seats into my car:

Didn't think of it at the time, but now I'm sourcing the parts from a wreck that won't cost an arm and a leg. I plan on cutting my existing door panel to accommodate the sunshades. I should have everything together by early May and will update this thread. Running out of mods worth doing lol

 

This sounds like a great mod. I don't have these either and would love a cost effective way to add them.

 

Let me know if you need any pics. I have a 2013 with the luxury package.

 

well if you can find a second set of parts let me know! im still looking for the heated rear seat...

 

Some parts arrived!

First step is to remove the door panel and cut it to install the sunshade. I didn't buy the pre-cut door panel to save money.

Here is the factory door panel with the window seal removed.


Remove these clips.


Sunshade next to door panel.


All the screw holes to hold down the sunshade exist on the non-sunshade door panel.


Cut off these clip retention brackets. I used a hacksaw blade.


Hard to see in the pic but there is a factory seam that lines the part of the door panel we have to cut off.


I run my sharpie along this seam.


Start cutting the door panel right on the line.


Door panel with the piece I cut off.


Install the sunshade with small screws.


Complete door panel with sunshade, looks factory!


to be continued....

 

You are a genius.

 

I was gonna use the doors mine came on but with the smoke smell I guess ill try my hand at cutting

 

Are the shades just manual use?

 

Thanks for doing this! What about the hook clips on top of the frame?

 

the clips go into the back of the sunshade and the window seal attaches to it.

 

The shades are manual, only the LS has power rear door sunshades.

 

It will be easier if you use a dremel instead of a hack saw blade.

 

thats unfortunate, i only have a m18 hacksaw and no dremel...

 

If your going to use a hack saw use a blade with more teeth and do it by hand so you have more control. if you stray off the line too much or make a mistake you could turn the door panel into scrap.

 

try wiping down the entire panel with rubbing alcohol that might take care of the smoke smell from it.
