740 sedan rear sun curtain

Brad

Hi, I'm looking for a rear pull up sun shade for a 1990 740 sedan. My dad stuck a lump of timber through the old one and tore a giant hole in it (mum was NOT impressed).
It's a single pull up shade curtain (not the two piece ones that I think were on the earlier models).
I"m in Caboolture (halfway between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast).
Thank you.

Hello , welcome!
Have you considered going to a blind making / curtain type place and having new material put on the mechanism?
May as well have new than very old stuff.

Thanks,
I went to an auto upholsterer and they said that it couldn't be fixed as they doubted if they could get the right securing clips where the material attaches to the tabs that slot into the car's roof. Maybe they were just too lazy to check...
Could be worth exploring this further. Just thought I'd ask if anyone had one spare.
Cheers

Sounds like they didn't want your business.....
Not hard to transfer the hardware is it? Affix the tabs to a bigger bit and sew that on etc , if they are that lazy they deserve to be given all the bad press you can...

I just went out and took a couple of photos.
First one shows how the blind material is attached to the tab. There's a metal rod and then two rivet-type fixings. Surely someone would have them.

The second one shows the damage to the blind.

It's attached to the roller at the bottom with some sort of glue.

Mark, If Broad doesn't want it, how much is the postage to 4211?

$30 as it is over 1 metre in length and would have go via TNT, I do have 960 rear blind new in box, but you would have to custom fit it, to the rear panel.

Hi Mark

The 960 top tabs are in a different location to my 740 (my 960 has one that's how i know).
