Thread: Window Blinds

Been trying to find some pictures of window blinds on the stilo but coming up short.

Anyone have any or can say how they attach to the car and work please?

...shows them on the 3 door and they do look pretty similar on mine. Haven't got a pic that shows them off that well, though you can vaguely see them on some of my latest vHoist pics.

They attach rather easily. Just a case of pushing them into the surrounding dips around the inside edge of the window. They have a kind of wire border that can be mildly pushed to shape and fill the gap.

Really fiddly though and they don't quite fit perfectly, but they do look rather decent and do a good job of keeping heat/sun and following glare from headlights. Got mine 2nd hand of eBay for £16

Cool. Quite practical then.

Hmm, I didn't get the clips with my rear one's Still, they fit pretty much fine and can't complain about the price, especially as Fiat charge something like £60 or more.

why dont you just tint the windows instead?

2 main reasons I had were price and the fact that I could remove them easily if I wanted. The fitted blinds from a distance look rather a lot like tints and for a tiny fraction of the cost. I'd prefer them tinted, but the blinds give me more flexibility :)

I had tinted windows in my Bravo when I bought. Didn't get on with them so removed all but back windscreen :)

The appeal of being able to remove the blinds at ease (compared top peeling off the tinted foil) is rather high.

but you cant use the blinds on the front side windows
as i would tint all windows, as i'm planning to sometime this summer, well all but the front one

That is an iffy subject as well. Personally if I were to get tints, I wouldn't do the fronts. They keep changing the legal standing on it and to save getting hassle from plod, I just wouldn't want to bother.

But then, a mate's got some light tints on his fronts and they look fine without any hassle. I guess it's just up to you really.
