Euro Car Window Shades: Volvo to Peugeot

The European makes get searched for and found rarely, because none of them has a page of its own here and the brand hubs are just lists. This is the missing page: every Volvo, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, Mini, Peugeot and Renault we cut, in one place, with the cars we do not cut named so you do not have to go looking. Audi, BMW and Mercedes have their own guides already, linked at the end.

Two price tiers

Volvo, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar and Mini sit on the premium tier: $49.99 for the front pair, $69.99 for the rear pair, $108.99 for all four doors. Peugeot and Renault are standard: $49.99, $59.99 and $99.99. The mesh and the method are the same on both tiers; the difference is the cost of patterning cars we see fewer of.

Volvo

The EC40 is the one to read carefully. Its set is held by clips rather than magnets, the way the Audi A4 and A6 sets are. It is the same mesh and it goes on and off the same way; it is just a different mount, and the listing says so. The XC60 and XC90 carry the full range up to all eight panels at $217.99, with the tailgate panel at $69.99. Roof panels exist for all three SUVs; see below. No cut yet for the S60, V60, V40, XC70 or EX30.

Porsche

The 2018-on set was cut on the standard Cayenne; if yours is the Coupé, with its lower roofline, ask before ordering. No cut for the Panamera, Taycan or any 911.

Land Rover and Range Rover

Land Rover's names are trims as often as they are models. Supercharged, Vogue and Autobiography are all full-size Range Rovers, and the listings carry the supplier's years rather than body codes, so this is the one make where we would rather you asked than matched a name.

All of these are front and rear doors only. For any full-size Range Rover, send the build month from the compliance plate and we will tell you which of the three listings is the cut for your body; the Vogue and the 2016–2022 Supercharged listings cover the same years and the same shell. The Evoque has had two bodies and the Defender two very different ones under the same name, so the same applies there. No cut for the full-size Discovery or the Freelander.

Jaguar

One car: the long-wheelbase XJL, front and rear doors. No F-Pace, E-Pace, XE or XF yet.

Mini

All front and rear doors. The Cooper listings overlap: the hatch has been through three bodies and the generic Cooper listing does not say which it was cut on, so send the build month, or go by the Cooper S listing if yours is a 2017–2021 F56. The Countryman and Countryman S 2017–2022 listings are the same F60 body. No cut for the Convertible, the Paceman or the 2024-on Countryman.

Peugeot

The 3008 is the one to watch. The 2016–2020 and 2021–2023 listings are the same P84 body before and after its facelift, but only the later listing carries the tailgate panel, so a pre-facelift owner who wants the back glass covered should ask us whether the panel carries over. There is also an older 408 listing without years for the earlier sedan. No cut for the 308, 307, 206 or the Partner.

Renault

Two listings, and one of them is not an Australian car. The Koleos 2008–2016 is the first Koleos sold here; the Duster was never sold new in Australia. No cut for the current Koleos, the Captur, Megane, Arkana or Kangoo.

Roof panels

Several of these cars came with a factory panoramic roof, and for those we cut an insulated roof panel: a reflective foil and air-cushion core about 8 mm thick, in two pieces at $69.99, sitting in the roof opening and lifting out by hand. It is a different product from the mesh, built to stop radiant heat. There are panels for the Volvo XC40, XC60 and XC90, both Cayenne bodies and the Macan, the Defender, the Vogue, the Mini Cooper, and the Peugeot 2008 and 5008. They only fit a car that left the factory with the glass roof. The sunroof guide explains the product.

The other Europeans

Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen each have a full guide. Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Citroën and Cupra have no cuts at all. For any of those, or any car above we have missed, the measuring app gets you a quote on a one-off set.
