Volkswagen Window Shades Australia: All 12 Fits, and the Tiguan Years Only the Allspace Covers
Volkswagen is the make in our catalogue with the fewest year splits and the most body splits. Only three of the twelve listings carry a year range at all; the rest are single cuts identified by shape. So the question to bring to this page is not "what year is my car" — it is "which body do I actually have".
Auto Sunshades cuts 12 Volkswagens, every set from $49.99. One of them has a gap worth knowing about before you order.
The Tiguan: two listings, and the five-seater we don't cut
| Listing | Years | VW code | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiguan, five seats | 2009–2017 | 5N | /products/volkswagen-tiguan-2009-2017 |
| Tiguan Allspace, seven seats | 2018–2024 | long-wheelbase second gen | /products/volkswagen-tiguan-allspace-2018-2024 |
Both are door sets: front pair, rear pair or all four. Neither includes the fixed quarter glass or the tailgate.
The gap is the five-seat Tiguan that replaced the 5N from 2016, and the current third generation. We have no cut for either. The Allspace looks like it should fit a 2018-on five-seater, and it does not: it is stretched behind the B-pillar, so its rear doors and their glass are longer. A panel that doesn't match the frame lets light in at the edges and won't stay put.
So:
- Five seats, rounder 2009–2017 body? The 5N listing.
- Seven seats, 2018–2024? The Allspace listing.
- Five seats, sharper body from 2016 on, or the current Tiguan? Not cut yet. The AS Measure app gets you a quote.
The Tiguan guide goes through telling the bodies apart, and the vehicle page is at /sun-shades/volkswagen-tiguan.
The Polo: hatch and sedan are different products
| Listing | Product |
|---|---|
| Polo Hatchback | /products/volkswagen-polo-hatchback |
| Polo Sedan | /products/volkswagen-polo-sedan |
Neither is split by year, so the product page's fitment note is what you check against. But do check which body you have, because these are not two sizes of the same set. A sedan's rear door glass ends at a different point and its rear quarter is a different shape from the hatch's — the boot changes the whole rear of the greenhouse. Australians mostly know the Polo as a hatch, so the sedan listing is easy to miss if you have one.
Teramont and Teramont X
| Listing | Alias | Product |
|---|---|---|
| Teramont | Atlas | /products/volkswagen-teramont |
| Teramont X | Atlas Cross Sport | /products/volkswagen-teramont-x |
Same principle, bigger car. The Teramont is the boxy three-row wagon; the Teramont X is the coupe-roofed version, which is where the aliases help — they are sold as the Atlas and the Atlas Cross Sport in North America. The sloping roofline on the X changes the rear side glass substantially, so the X's set is not a Teramont set with different packaging.
If your paperwork says Atlas, search Teramont. If it says Atlas Cross Sport, search Teramont X.

The rest of the range
| Model | Product |
|---|---|
| Golf | /products/volkswagen-golf |
| Jetta | /products/volkswagen-jetta |
| Passat | /products/volkswagen-passat |
| T-Cross | /products/volkswagen-t-cross |
| Viloran | /products/volkswagen-viloran |
None of these five is split by year, which is the single most important caveat on this page. The Golf in particular has run through several generations with meaningfully different door glass, and one listing cannot be all of them. Open the product page and read the fitment note against your car before ordering — that note, not a year range, is what tells you which body the cut was taken from. If it does not match, ask us rather than guessing.
The Viloran is the outlier: a van-bodied people mover, so its set covers sliding-door glass and rear-cabin windows that none of the others have.
There is no Amarok, Caddy, Touareg, Transporter, Multivan or Caravelle on our list. Those are common vehicles in Australia and we do not cut them.
What a set covers
Every Volkswagen set here is cut for front doors, rear doors, the boot or tailgate glass, third-row quarter windows on the Allspace, Teramont and Viloran, and the fixed port window behind the rear door where the car has one. There is no windscreen piece in any of them — windscreen shades are a separate category and we have written about what actually works there.
On the seven-seaters, the rear-most side window is the piece worth paying attention to. It is the one a third-row passenger sits directly against, it is usually fixed rather than openable, and it is the panel most often left out of a generic two-piece kit. Our rear-window guide covers the boot and tailgate side of the same problem.
Ordering
- Tiguan Allspace (seven seats), 2018–2024? The Allspace listing.

- Polo? Hatch and sedan are separate products.
- Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport? Search Teramont and Teramont X respectively.
- Golf, Jetta, Passat, T-Cross, Viloran? One cut each, no year split — read the product page's fitment note first.
