Pre-cut window covers

Does anyone know where I can buy pre cut window covers for a Freelander 2?
At least for the rear side windows and tailgate..

Thanks

I got some extra large windscreen sun shields. Stuck A4 paper to the inside of the windows with some masking tape. It was layered up & rough as guts but the templates worked well to transfer to the sun shields. Rear window you only need to make half a template & then flip. Doesn't take long. Make them a touch larger & they will wedge in place. Work out where you put the vertical folds so they pack nicely.

The rear window I made it about 10mm larger so it tucks behind the trim panel.

They shrink a bit horizontally due to the folds so add about 10 to 15 mm depending on window width.

We often have the rear side ones in & if it is really hot & we are remote we will put the rear one in & sometimes the rear passenger windows. There is a seperate one for the passenger fixed window.

They are great in winter to keep the cold out & reduce condensation. The windscreen I have an additional layer of about 5mm soft packing foam wrap.

On the commercial variant of the FL2, LR made these black plastic panels to blank the rear quarter windows. Beware they are handed, so if getting from a breaker, check you get a pair.

I had a set some time ago, but they are like rocking horse dodah.

No official blank was made for the tailgate window.



Have you looked at 'privacy shades' that pop into the window aperture ??
