Mesh Window Inserts - 2008 MCS

My 2008 MCS has fabric/mesh inserts in the sunroof and rear hatch. Are these available for the rear side windows? It's like a soft "privacy" mesh, and I'm debating whether to just tint doors/side windows or just doors if mesh is available for rear windows. Might be more consistent.

I would just go ahead and tint the windows. I have never seen specific mesh things for the windows. Although I am sure you can buy just a generic suction on mesh thing somewhere. I went ahead and had my sunroof tinted as well as the windows. That sun overhead was in my eyes, even with the mesh thing closed.

My volvo has a solid shade that matches the headliner, to cover the sunroof. I'm thinking of putting one of those in place of the screen.

With summer going full-tilt here in the Midwest, I've considered simply placing a piece of black fabric on top of the shade mesh in the sunroof. The idea is to open the sunroof, arrange the black cloth on top of the existing mesh, and then close the sunroof glass and leave it closed until the weather gets more sunroof-friendly.

^ that's 1/3 of the price for ceramic tint. u get can good ceramic tint which is really really great against heat reduction for under $300. I wouldn't waste 100 of only shade in my rear windows...
