It's a powered sunscreen. My Mercedes has a button by the gear shift where you can raise or lower it as you please. With the severe heat and glare in the back window of an SC this would have been a godsend.

a bit further back.....

Anyone found any good BLACK sunscreens out there?

...and for my last request..... I wish they'd vented the sunroof cover. You have no idea how much this helps.......

I was thinking of cutting my sunroof cover and installing these vents in there.

1. The first one can be remedied with tinted windows, or just retrofitting a sunscreen back there, shouldnt be hard.

2. What's the functional purpose of a sunroof vent?

First one I was asking if anyone had used an aftermarket one, located one in black.

second one provides ventilation for the car by providing a place for air to escape from the cabin into the drain tubes as well as producing a nice lighting effect in the cabin without having to open the shade and get hot.

the mercedes doesn't have a glass sunroof though, does it?

also, how does the shade work? is it a string?

O. L. T.

Of course it does.

hmm, well, the last mercedes i was in was a 99 sl600, so i dont know much about these new mercs. What i really liked are the door shades on the bmw 7 series, I always wanted to know how those worked.

About the sun roof thing, I just tilt it up and open the cover for about 2 centimeters back with the ventilation on fresh, that way the sun doesn't burn me, cause I'm like a vampire, I can't stand the sunlight and the heat. And I like it dark...

its a very overcomplicated design. lots of hoses and relays and crap. the side window shade asseblies weigh probably about 15 lbs each.

They didnt give us rear windshield wipers either!

While I think a rear wiper would be handy, I think it would interupt the lines of the car too much. As it is, until I get it shaved, the stupid attenna does a good job of it.

As for the rear window, I have a very dark tint of good quality all the way around my SC except the windshield of course, so it deflect the harmful rays of the sun. Easy Fix.

Why don't you try to put in an OEM Lexus one? I've got one in my LS430 and had one for my GS (one from a RHD Aristo) I'd give you a link to it but search times out and I've wasted 20 minutes trying... I didn't end up putting it in mine, but Letsride used it and got it working in his GS

edit, here it is. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/club-lexus-vendor-marketplace/97279-aristo-electric-sun-shade.html

I think they would be too big Dave. The LS and GS rear windows are much larger in comparison to the SC aren't they? I'm not sure you'd be able to reduce the width of it to have it fit the SC cabin?


As for the sunroof vents, I think you should be able to cut that and do it yourself, what I want to know is how to remove the sunroof visor ALTOGETHER from the interior without having to pull out the entire headliner

take out the sunroof glass and remove it from the top.
