Lightbulb Custom window shades

Hi all
New to the forum, so hopefully this is the right place for this! My wife and I are about to have our first child (the reason we bought a car). As part of this, I'm hoping to get some custom windows shades. We bought those ones that go over the door, but they look terrible! I've found a few places (like this one: https://www.carshades.co.uk/) that do custom window shades, but they all have options for the 2012-2015 Xf Sportbrake or the 2016+ Xf saloon/sedan. I've got the 2019 Sportbrake, and cannot find any custom shades for it.

All I want is the rear passenger doors, I'm not bothered at all about the cargo area. Does anyone know if buy shades for the 2019 saloon would fit (even if slightly imperfectly) on the rear-door windows of the Sportbrake?

Thanks
Dan

Dotter, I would try buying the shades from the 2015 XF. They should be close enough to do what you are after. I can't imagine there being that much of a difference.

Awesome, thanks! To be clear, do you mean shades for the earlier (2012-2015) estate/wagon? Or the post-2015 saloon/sedan?

cheers

Look at both. Probably find that they are probably identical. Either way, figure out which one is closer to what you need and order it.
