Fly Screens

[Lakes_Puma]

What is the word on the fly screens for the rear sliding windows?

The brochure states;
Sliding window in front with fly screen

Contains QC1 Privacy glass (65% tint), 4FJ Sliding window with fly screen in passenger compartment left, 4JJ Sliding window with fly screen passenger compartment right.

And the manual states;
The supplied fly screens can be installed in the sliding windows of the sliding doors.

Has anyone got them?

There was some discussion on the fly screens in this thread: https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/thinking-about-the-future-of-the-t7.57960/

At the time I think we’d found that no-one had any of these elusive fly screens for the rear passenger windows - only the new T7 style ones that fit in the front electric windows.

Was in the original web documentation so I just argued it should have been there and they accepted it.

Interesting conversation with Swansway Birmingham, the sales guy says he has chased this through with VW UK and says the description in the specification merely indicates they are available and that fly screens in the sliding windows are an option at £105 each.
Given the description says sliding windows with fly screens I’m not sure they can really defend their position.
Having seen the fly screens I’m not sure where I’d store them or necessarily use them over the ones in the front windows.
I don’t know whether to contact VW UK myself and point out their responsibility to provide the specific items listed in the product description.

I’ve just checked my sales invoice and specification and it is subtly different to the online catalogue;
No mention of fly screens

-[4FN] Sliding window in sliding door - left

-[4JN] Sliding window in sliding door - right

I’d contact vw customer services and have the argument with them.

As much as I had an awful experience with my vw dealer - they didn’t even question the fact I wanted them and went straight to vw who said they’d provide after I showed the online spec still shows them.

Yea the front are provided but they aren’t what is advertised and are a worse option imo

I just had a price spec for a new T7 Coast eHybrid (having taken a T7 petrol for 2 nights try out). It includes 'sliding windows with fly screens in the sliding doors, including privacy glass in the rear' additional cost £300 (code ZBC). I thought these would come integrated in the window.. but guessing from various chats that they fix on. and I thought privacy glas was included as standard. Don't think I will bother for that priceif it's just more kit to carry (drive the deal has them listed as free..)
