Part#for W126 Power Rear Sunshade

[maurinquina]

Can anyone provide the part numbers for Power Rear Sunshade for W 126 ? It was a "Euro Only" option and Dealer says that I have to give him part number in order to look up if it's available . I already changed : Bumpers, Blinkers, Headlights, License plate frames to Euro Spec and Sunshade is only item missing off my list . Please help if you can ! ! !

Here's a post from a guy for the 560SEC, from MercedesCoupe list.

Something else my 560 didn't have was the MB rear sunshade. I struggled to

> So I told my breaker to send me a 126 saloon one and I'd try to discover
the
> differences. My initial though was that because the rear windscreen and
rear
> parcel shelves on the 126 saloon and coupe are so different, I thought the
> rear sunshade, namely the housing for the sunshade would be a different
> shape and that a saloon sunshade would not match the contours of the Coupe
> parcel shelf.
>
> Also, would the saloon shade be long enough - the Coupe windscreen is
approx
> 8-9 inches tallerthan the saloon.
>
> When I received the saloon sunshade, I pulled out my parcel shelf from the

> parcel shelf trays perfectly ! In addition, my parcel shelf had markings
in

sunshade

match

> 1 - white wire to rear sunshade
> 2 - Green wire to rear sunshade
> 3 - black wire for 12V, hot with start
> 4 - ground
> 5 - illumination wire (Grey/bl) to illuminate switch with side lights
>
> The switch can be mounted in the coin tray or in place of the fader
switch.

> The shade is also the same length for both coupe and saloon - the motor
