3GT window sunshades

speedster77 · 05-06-2020, 10:35 AM

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of any sunshades for the side windows for the 3GT as well as one for the rear hatch glass? I looked up bmw accessories and could not find any. Did not have any luck finding aftermarket ones either... If anyone has any input that would be appreciated. Thanks.

I could never find any, too few GTs were made to create a market for them. Tint is the only option.

Yeah that sucks. Oh well, guess I gotta get tint installed. Thanks for the reply

I have 50% tint on the side and rear glass. If I could do it again, I'd go 35% all around.

I previously had an S4, and I bought window shades from CarShades in the UK. They don't offer anything for the 3GT, which is understandable, given the frame-less windows. I reached out to them via email and asked if they can make a rear hatch shade, and the answer was no. If you are reading this and have a car that has full frame door windows, I recommend CarShades, great fitting product that looks good and works well to filter the light.

For my 3GT, i bought these 2 cheap solutions from Amazon:
Rear Hatch:

Rear Side Windows:

They don't look the cleanest, but they work to filter some light from my kid in the rear car seat.
