The Audi option is the best.

The Audi aftermarket option is the second best.

I fitted the Audi atermarket option to my B6 S4. It was very good...albeit a little scary to fit. You drill two holes in the top on the door panel and also two holes in the top of the window frame.

You get some templates and the instructions are very clear but taking a drill to the car it unnerving.

Once installed it looks fine. It's obviously not flush like factory fit but having the roller unit on top of the door panel doesn't look bad at all. If I got a car without the factory fit then I'd definately add them with the Audi kit.

Default I thought he was asking about rear side windows

It doesn't look like Audi Collection has anything for the side rear windows, only for the back window. I doubt that there's a nifty solution for the side windows other than the suction cup ones you buy from baby stores.

I included the $575 rear sunshade option when I ordered my ED 335, and I'm very glad I have it. I have the rear sunshade up all the time and I use the manual side sunshades to keep the sun glare away from kids' faces and keep the interior cool on warm days.
