I am installing a rear power sunshade in my GSF. I have researched and purchase all the parts for a fraction of what it would cost. Anyone interested to see the end results, I will post my completed work. Please feel free to make respectable comments or criticism. I will post all the parts, still waiting on couple pieces.
seen that post a while ago and for my 16 GSF it won't work. I took apart my trunk and the taped off connector on the left side of the trunk is not there.
Okay guys, I did the rear sunshade install and it worked awesome. It is real simple. I will outline the steps below to include the pic of the parts required. I would recommend buying the parts from ebay as the dealers prices may not be cost effective.

1 in the front (sunshade will be forward facing as seen in pic. SCREW 90119-A0255 Qty 1 for install
5 in the rear (Rear of sunshade have 5 holes, the 3 upper are for the plastic clips for the rear deck cover, just remove from original deck
There is 2 brackets far left and far right and that is where the screws will go 901-A0098 and the other screw will go by the round grommet hole by the motor.

I WILL BE INSTALLING THE DOOR SHADES NEXT AND WILL COMMMENT ON THE STEPS UPON COMPLETION. THANKS ALL FOR LOOKING. COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS WELCOME.
seen that post a while ago and for my 16 GSF it won't work. I took apart my trunk and the taped off connector on the left side of the trunk is not there.
Someone with an f-sport that didn't have the taped off connector did the power trunk retrofit. He basically had to wire up the missing connector and run some other wires. F-sport and GS F both are missing the same wires/connectors: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...l#post10917918
Happy to see you do this as I have been trying to get this project rolling. I want to do this as well as the auto trunk - I have bought a motor already. thank you for putting this up.

This is for the rear sunshade switch in the rear seat power console. The sunshade switch by the parking sensor in the front should have the pre wire on all GSF. Just buy the switch.
