Has anyone purchased and installed some kind of sliding / retractable rear window shade in your Sonata? I was able to find this:http://www.autosunshades.net/index.htm, and was told the thing would need four screws to fix to the car, though the 4 holes left by the screws would be very small. Anyone has any experience on this, or similar products?

Haven't tried them but I like it for when the kids are in the car. I tinted all the way around but that would be great for trips when they watch TV. I'd like to find the same type for the side windows tah actually custom fit. Seen them on the Toyota Sienna and many BMW and Mercedes Benz where they actually retract into the door. REAL nice!!! Here's the actual link Auto Sunshades

I think the link you posted is the same as the one I pasted. I just don't want to drill holes in my car, even if they are small ones. And not sure the quality of their products. Couldn't find any review on them. Thanks.

I actually have a similiar shade. I used to have it on all my cars in Europe but couldn't find it in US so on my last trip I just brought one for around $20. Installed in 5 minutes and it looks good. I like it.

As for the holes - you don't drill anything. You just use the supplied screws. It's really not a big deal.

My car is tinted but because of a stupid MA law I could only do 35%. That's really not enough so I just keep the shade up all the time.

It's odd that US Sonata's don't get rear shades while the Korean ones have power rear shades. Even the Kia Optima in the US gets a factory shade.

Oddly enough, the Optima also gets POWER PEDALS!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
