Default All '92 spec Canadian sedans have roller sun-blinds

It almost seems as though Audi screwed up. They gave guys in Texas. New Mexico, Arizona, etc rear seat heaters, and gave us guys up north roller-sunblinds. WTF?

Default I'll trade you my rear seat heaters for your rear sun blind...

You pay shipping

I leave them disconnected because it makes it easier to get to the battery.
