Default Rear Window Curtains

Hi Everyone,

I know the xB's have this, and I was wondering if anyone has done this or knows of where to get curtain rails and such to do a VIP curtain style/darken the car for headrest monitor viewers...

Anyone know where to start?

Thanks!

This is true, I don't think making a curved rail would be that hard though. And I do have 20% Tint, so yes, it is dark, I just want something a little better

Maybe a curved rail at the top and one at the bottom that way it stays flush with the window and doesn't hang straight down? The back seat headspace is pretty tight as it is...

People actually fit in your back seat? I have actually put the back seats down flat, layed out on a pillow while my Wife drove before.

idk, people seem to manage, even with the rear seats unreclined, people like myself who are 6'4" would never make it

Why don't you just get darker tint? You will be able to see out (barely) of the side windows with tint, but not with curtains.

This is true, I am planning a tint redo, and I might go 20 front 5 rear, but idk, I think doing curtains would be a lot cooler

They would be. I had 20 up front and 5 in the back until the body shop screwed up one of my front windows. Now it's all 5% and I love it.
