All the wiring should be there!

My word you seem to have a serious condensation problem going on there, I would look into that.

Rear blind! Novelty value in reality lol.

The wiring wasn't there, unless it's so well hidden that I missed it.

I have been looking into the condensation problem (or I was until I got waylaid by the rear end refurb). Condensation has always formed inside the rear screen ever since I bought the car - the front screen too. I found it was forming on the roof above the headlining, which I've taken out of the car now. Overnight temp here must have been -5C and now there's ice on the roof inside, ice on the inside of the front windscreen and ice on the inside of the rear windscreen.

There are no water leaks through the roof btw - I've tested it with a hose pipe. The rear windscreen trim has lifted in one corner but I haven't taken it off yet to look at the clips underneath. Rick fitted a new LCD screen in my IPK earlier this year and when I took the IPK out of the dash I found water on the big crossbeam behind it - that was probably the condensation that had run down the inside of the front windscreen (it has to go somewhere).

Bump on this. Got a bit busy after I posted this last time.

I'm now looking for a powerblind, ideally one on a dark grey parcel shelf but can a sandstone shelf one or use just the blind on its own to fit to my parcel shelf if it includes everything required to fit it.

I'll weigh it and let you know later Rick. I've got the ideal box for it somewhere.
