Ive got a set of these in my Tiguan, side windows are a perfect fit but there a is a small gap on the rear window fitments however I suspect its down to the window shape and you probably wouldnt have the same issue with a D4 flat window

Window shopping for 'Blonds' will end badly. Heaven doesn't want me, and hell is afraid I'll take over.

I have a set of these and they are excellent. There is a good Youtube video on how to fit them which will come with the fitting instructions. I'd watch that first, ignore the fact the video is of blinds being fitted ina Ford Kuga, the process is identical and once you have got it cracked, it's a doddle... Jim

If it’s “blonds” for camping, you won’t get much better than these babes.

They’re reet thick ( cheaper, thinner Chinese models are available ). I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

I have the same ones as RonP above and they seem pretty good. Time will tell if they are as good as they look.
One thing I was weighing-up was whether I really wanted the silver reflective look from the outside. Nothing screams "I'm over-nighting here" more than silver window blinds on a car, which rules out any "stealth camping". Some of the blinds I looked at were black on the outside, which from a distance just looks like privacy glass and in the dark doesn't stand out at all. With the ones from Walker Components, the suction cups can be inserted so that either the silver or the grey side is outermost, whichever is preferred. (Except for the tailgate window, which can't be reversed because of the shape). Previously:

Get a set of airline eye masks and matters not what blinds you have really... Jim

I always enjoy the phrase "packs neatly away' with no picture of that! 
If you want that type of blind then I agree they look good though.

Oxford Boy, yes, lol to the packing away! They do roll up and come with a band to put round them, so I guess they are neat...but they take up a lot more space than I had imagined. Previously:
