Cargo Blind?

[Turd Ferguson]

Do they make a cargo blind for VN-VP wagons as i keep lots of stuff in the back of my wagon and am always worried people will see it and break in?

Ifd not ill consider getting a vy cargo blind and modifying it.

Yes they did.
I had one but the fittings that came with the kit were craap and all split or broke.
I was going to remake them out of alloy but ended up selling it on Streetwagons about a year ago.
You'll find the VY blind too wide so try some Mitsubishi wreckers and look for a blind out of a magna or later 380 wagons.
Cheapest option put really dark/black tint on your rear windows.

I was expecting someone to suggest window tint but i would think its too expensive, how much would i be looking at for a dark rear tint

EDIT: would holden still stock cargo blinds for older models?

 

[Surfwagon]

Can't give you a price but window tint always make your car look better.
Another thought is buy a large dark grey/black blanket to throw over everything, that's what I do.

repco sells 5% tint over here for about $60nzd. i think its about 5m long. otherwise supercheap auto has it aswel for cheaper.

you might want to check your local laws regarding window tinting, over here we can only have 35% on a passenger car or unlimted on a van or 4x4

 

[Turd Ferguson]

what level would be dark enough to prevent prying eyes from seeing in?

 

[Surfwagon]

I have the darkest legal tint on tailgate and normal windows (Drivers and passengers) and have the darkest available tint on the cargo windows and the only time you can see into the cargo area is when the sun is directly shining in the window.

mines pretty dark i dunno what it is coz was on car when i bought it but quite dark in the back looks great on a wagon too (quite evil)

 

[Anthraxnz]

i think AUS allowqs up to 20% that probably whats on it

Looking at cargo blind from a vt-vz

they seem to be 150cm wide so it'll be a close fit
