Has anyone converted the manual rear sunshade to a power one?

I have the same car you do, and I think it would be possible, but a major pain in the ass. I guess you could get some parts off a BMW and do it...I haven't heard of anyone doing it.

I got a 2002 1.8t Jetta and some features are not avaliable with the 1.8t such as the rear sunshade. I thought well it would be cool to install because it is just a straight up swap. Guess how much VW charges for the panel with the sunshade................$300!! is this thing gold plated???? needless to say I passed on the $300 non-powered sunshade.

GLX exclusive I bet.
VW Driver Gear catalog doesn't list on for the Jetta...but the Golf & GTI for about $100.

What?!! What a ripoff! You can place an order directly at any VW dealership and install it yourself. $125 for the shade. Installation takes about 30 minutes. Email me if you want a pic or part number.
