Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Hi Katy,

Welcome to the forum, neighbour

Which X1 did you go for?

I also had an issue with the blinds as I thought the BMW ones were expensive for what they are. As mentioned elswhere they clip into the window frames and are not the roller type found in other BMWs. I also did not like the plastic clip things you have to stick onto the frames to hold the blinds in place.

There is another thread where this was also discussed but I went for the windowsox for the following reasons:

1. They are cheap, under £20 if I remember correctly.
2. They are for very occasional use (this is Scotland )
3. Less important but you can open the windows with them on, my son needs air or he will thow up all over my car
