Anyone with factory tailgate, glass and rear wiper got Vanshades or curtains fitted? Hampshire area (ish).

As above. I’m after looking at Vanshades fitted to a Factory tailgate with wiper. I’ve currently got thermal blind with the ‘suckers’. It’s ok (ish) but just wanted to view Vanshades before I took the plunge. Or get curtains.
I have the sucker thermal blinds on aftermarket side windows and they are great but due to ( I can only assume) the heated rear window’s elements, the suckers on the back are a PITA and keep dropping off. So I’m scoping alternatives.

Any offer of a gander much appreciated.

I’m based Andover Hampshire.

Thanks in advance.

Rob.

I've got them and the same spec, but nowhere near you. I can take a pic if you like? It was easy to fit and I love it. So much better than curtains.

One of the best things we did

The above is exactly the same as ours. The whole unit with the blind is held in with 4 x screws and 2 x bolts. Dead easy to take off if the need arises. Took ours off last week to get the factory rear screen tinted, so that it matches the side windows. Unfortunately we are no where near you either, as we’re in Leeds.

Cheap and cheerful black curtains behind dark glass here as not madly keen on the way the van shades can make the tailgate window look a bit like a pill box gun sight from the outside.

Gangsta level tint and Tesco value curtains.

Thanks for the comments and photos of Vanshades. Must admit they do look pretty good . Pity you are not near me but hey ho. Any chance of a couple of photos from the outside. Just hoping they look as ‘finished and professional’ from the outside too. But, as above my main concern I suppose it how much window they cut out. (Hence why I went for my thermal stick ons). Oh. Choices

You can't really see them behind standard tint. Even less so with additional. I will grab a few pics tomorrow but they'll be hard to spot. Only time you can really see them is when they're down.

As above, when the rear window is tinted… you can’t see the blind at all from the outside.

Hi there, I’ve got them fitted and might be down in Andover over the weekend of the 5th April

This (these).

With a reasonable tint, you can't see much at all from the outside, but even without tint, they look way better than @Stay Frosty's first pic provided the outside colour is dark and they're not installed skew-whiff.

Dapaa tints, a mobile tinting service that comes directly to you. They did my rear window on our drive. Also used them before to do our Land Rover Discovery Sport. They did the entire car for us a couple of years ago, so didn’t hesitate to get them back to do the Transporter.
