With another summer on the way here, I decided to add OEM rear, side-door window shades to my S500.
It was a simple install and very affordable at approx. $150.00 CDN each. It's not as private as a tint, but we still really do enjoy them--the quality is excellent.
I've got some aftermarket ones but from the pictures I see that yours go down with the windows whereas I always have to worry about lowering my rear windows with the thingies stuck to them. This is waaay cooler. I'll check with my local MB how much they are and if they're cheap like yours then it's a set for me.
These are the same ones that are on my Grand Edition... I may actually buy a set for my 500SEL as well. I just wish I had the electric sun-shade for the rear...
I'm sure they do make them for SWB as well. Mine look like there is an extension piece in place to make them fit the longer doors. If that piece were removed (there are screws on the underside) I bet they would fit SWB cars.
Call your dealer and ask. They may be able to use the provided part numbers as a reference.
There is a tab at each end that pressure fits between the trim panel and door frame. Then there is a slide clip that snags onto the window frame between the main door glass and the triangle window. The shade itself has a clip that attaches to the top of the glass with a hook so it goes up and down with the window. If you lower the glass all the way down, the hook disengages itself and the shade will stay retracted when the glass goes back up.
6-6-69-1323 - left rear sunblind
6-6-69-1191 - right rear sunblind
Regarding the two above part #'s is there a color associated with the part number's... (ex: Black, gray, tan and etc...) what color are the sunblind's with the part number's as listed above?
I put in my order today... was told $137.50 for each side total = $275.00 it's coming from Germany so it'll take a week or two... will post (before, during and after install images) can't wait!:yelrotflmao:
Hoping you guys can help me out… Okay you know how some of you W140 owners have the rear side door sun blinds… well I wanted a set too and put in a order with my local dealership off the part numbers that I got off our forum prior to doing so I did ask others in this forum if the sun blinds came in any other colors… and was told no just black!
Well first and foremost I have a 1999 S500… when I gave the dealership my VIN # they stated that under my vehicle VIN # there weren’t any sun blinds available as original equipment for the vehicle and under original accessories there wasn’t any available for my vehicle either… and I told the parts department manager there’s no way that they can’t be available and that I have seen these sun blinds on a number of W140’s (I even went as far as to email him a picture of a set on a W140) and he stated to me that they were aftermarket… I stated no they are not… so here’s the problem that I ran into and am still in (added note they would not tell me what the part number for the product was so I gave them the part number I had instead… “Part’s Manager… was like wow it’s a valid part number and added we don’t give out part numbers but we can order parts for you”)… what the heck does that mean?
Part numbers that I got off of our forum postings… B6-6-69-1323 left rear sunblind (Color: Black) good B6-6-69-1191 (Number was updated from B6-6-69-1324) right rear sunblind (Color: Brown) problem…
B/C I ordered it they said they couldn’t return it… and I told them I have no problem paying for the parts but come on one Black and one Brown… I don’t think so and had to talk to the dealership manager to get this item reversed on my credit-card (after having raised hell in front of every single person in there… not good I know)… reiterated to the dealership manager that I have no problem paying for the item but coming on what am I going to do with one Black and one Brown sunblind…? He stated that they were just going off the part numbers that I gave them… and I told him that when I placed the order I asked (like 5 times do they come in any color other than black… was told that B/C the part doesn’t show that it is for a W140 of my year he couldn’t tell me but that he didn’t think they came in any other color “Part’s Manager statement”…
So please help guys…
What model year W140 did they make this part for… (B/C it doesn’t show that its available for the 1999 S500 W140… but the part numbers I gave them are valid… go figure)!
What is the part numbers for the right side in black… (B/C they have no clue)?
What are the different colors that the sunblinds come in and what are their part numbers…?
Do any of you still have your dealership receipt… if so could you scan it and post it in the forum… what does it show for part numbers for a set of black sunblinds… and or if any of you are willing to post your VIN # in the forum… but I know most wouldn’t… they told me if I had a VIN # for a set that were on a long wheelbase W140 they could cross reference it…:bowdown:
My car did not come with the rear sun shade, can you install the rear sunshade so it goes up and down? I am assuming that yours is just stationary, because there would be a motor, and a button in the console...
Beautiful S500 by the way, i love the interior.. wish mine looked like that. They did the two tone on the "grand edition" I believe, right?
