Back seat side window shades

Saw some factory back set clip-in window shades.... Did a search.... can't find them. Any one know the thread? or have the part numbers?

Thanks in advance.

Here's the part number: 51460142578 from realoem.com

They come with velcro but you won't need them since they spring into place between the b and c pillars.

You can find them on eBay but I'm not sure if they're available elsewhere for less than what your dealer would charge. Just be forewarned that the ones on eBay may be old stock since catalogue pictures show a slight difference in design.

Here's what's different: The eBay shades have a little gap in the rear upper corners. It isn't very noticable from the outside but they seem like manufacturing defects. The (presumably) newer ones have a squarish cut-out in the same rear upper corners which leads me to believe that the gap is necessary for some reason and that the square cut-out was a design revision meant to avoid looking like a defect.

I have the eBay ones. I used a sewing pick (don't know what it's called) and removed the sewn in velcro tabs because MBTB stated, it just snaps right in between the two pillars.

Much better visibility compared to my 5% tints I had there previously. Still have the 5% in the back though.....
