I would like to know as well. At work my car sits outside, and these would definitely give me peace of mind.

 

You order them from MINI?

Its in the USA Catalog for 07 accessories.. I picked up my catalog on Saturday from the dealership while grabbing my license plates.

Page 31 in the catalog..

Item #75

Rear Sun Shades
In broad daylight, vampires and read-seat passengers will benefit immensely from these black mesh panels that diffuse direct sunlight. A flexible tubular frame allows easy installation and removal.
Set of two.

Rear Windows - $102.75
Rear Quarter Windows - $95.00

 

Check MyMini as they may have the SunScreens in stock. I just received a set and they work well.

 

Here is the URL for the side screens:

I have no affiliation with MyMini, but do look around the different vendors as they often get something new worthwhile in stock. Found these to be quite nice and I'm sure they will help in the Summer heat.

 

I had them on my Audi & a former MB: they work well to filter light & cool the interior but don't reduce UV rays effectively as a good tint. Also the mesh (screen) gets dusty over time & needs to be vacumed every so often.
All in all I like this option as it add a a bit of interior noise reduction & contributes to the cabin comfort.
I will try these on my new 07 MCS as soon as the dealer has them.

 

thanks,
i am going to call my MA today and order them before my new r56 arrives.

 

I don't think those are for the R56.

 

spoke to rep from mymini. those blinds are not for the new r56. they have ordered for them but yet to receive.

 

ARE THEY PERMANENT MOUNT OR TEMPORARY. STICK ON OR SCREW ON??

 

Just order what I said from your Parts crew at the dealership people

 

Temporary mount. They have a flexible piping around the edges that holds them in place.
