Sun strips..

Post by sammclean23 »

Hi,

Sorry for the really simple question but I dont seem to be able to find any pics anywhere to explain what I mean.

I was thinking about buying a sun strip for my corsa but all I see is the vinyl ones. On my dads skoda the sun strip part is see through and looks as though it is part of the windscreen.

Does anybody know how much they are? The vinyl ones block all light through them :(

(I looked on a website and saw they had "reflective" and "normal" sun strips. Could the one on my dads car be reflective?)

Thanks for any replies

Thanks for replies. Yeah the ones on ebay are them yeah. And yeah it looks like part of the screen like the picture. Does anybody know (other than the one from ebay) if you have to get a new windscreen?

yeah there is "gateway autotints". £30 is easy within budget, better than paying £10 for a vinyl one. Cheers mate. I know i could have found this stuff out myslef but opinions are always better than prices.

thanks alot
