Default Automatic Rear Sun Shade on GSF?

Hi All,

Does the GSF offer Auto rear sun shade? I can't seem to find them on GSFs!

you can actually fit it from the gs. I have already done the home work with part numbers etc. you will need the entire rear deck and rear side curtain or pillars and then the switch that seats in the center console. you can wire it yourself direct. the harness plugs are there so its a direct plug in like how the door sills would be.

Cheaper route is some dark tints, 5 or 15%

In that case we can just get a gs350 and change the emblems and make it look like a GSF lol

What's the point? Get some tint for way cheaper, or don't and let your rear view mirror automatically dim. I almost never use mine in my F Sport although I will admit there have been 3 or 4 instances where Big Ole Rollin Coal trucker ended up on my bumper with lights glaring into the cabin even with 35% Huper Optik tint.

I think he was saying that it was weak that the most expensive GS was lacking a feature that a lower model had

I didn't realize the GSF was missing this feature, in addition to the Brake Hold feature in the GS. Performance wouldn't suffer significantly if these features were included. What else is the GSF missing? Does the GSF have the electronic trunk closer, which is like a soft-close feature?

GS-F does have the soft-close feature for the trunk, but it doesn't have the actual power trunk closer button. GS-F is also missing the heated steering wheel found on most of the GS350 F-Sports cars. Besides these, the US version of GS-F is missing headlight washers on the front bumper, side-window sunshades for the rear doors, and the rear seating control which is located on the pull-down rear center console when compared to GS-Fs that are sold in other regions/countries. Not sure if I'm missing anything else, but these are the features that I know are missing on the US version of GS-F cars.

What I just missed from my F sport not in my GSF is rear trunk button, I use it a lot and now not use to the GSF not having it. The other features I don't really mind coz I don't use the heated steering wheel, auto rear sunshade and the brake hold anyway.

Hold on,

Are we talking about the rear window or the rear side windows?
