I have this blind for several years. My kids don't like it because it doesn't block most of the sunlight just a little bit. My wife said it was a waste of money. I installed it myself according to the instruction. Now, the driver's plastic hooker was broken. I will get a new set from dealer and replace the driver side blind.

Another thing is that when you lower and raise the window with the blind on, the blind will move/slide to one side (either back or forth) of the window. The top of the blind will hit window frame. This is a known tiny problem as most owner just ignore it.

Does your friend still have it available? I'm willing to buy them. They are the correct color for my interior. Are you in Taipei? I have friends from Taiwan that I met while still in school. Thanks.

I had them on my 1995 turbo when I purchased it in 2001, the previous owner liked them; however, when I installed tint on my windows, the little window tabs broke and scratch the new tint, so I uninstalled them. I still have them in the shed. IMHO, put tint on the windows; however enough said, I still have a set for the windows, if you are interested, pay a modest, real modest price and shipping and you have won a lucky day, Steve, email is volvo95@cox.net.

My friend has them on his 850 and likes them. I thought about it but for the price decided to tint my windows. The only complaint he has is the view out is a bit fuzzy. Hope this helps.
