Picked this up recently and given the sweltering heat of this week was thinking of fitting it....

Its a rear window mesh shade to help keep the car nice and cool ;) i dont have aircon in the BB4 anymore :(
I was told this is a genuine honda part - ive never seen one before - looks tricky to fit as the metal holding brackets are bolted in with the parcel shelf speaker covers and also bolt to the framework at the back - the clips that keep the blind up slot into holes at the rear of the roof - apparently youve got to remove the rear headliner panel in order to access them.

Has anyone else got one of these or know if it a genuine part before i get stuck in :)

@Damon has one, if it's a genuine one then yes it was a honda Access option for the 5g, very rare 8-)

My only concern would be that if you don't have aircon then you're likely to want your windows down on those hot days. I wouldn't fancy the windows down whilst driving at speed whilst the blind is up :?

That's why I gave up the blind and let Damon have it.

it looks to be for a 5th gen so not sure if it will fit a 4th :?
