Rear Side Window Mesh Sun Shades?

When i bought my 2010 TSX used there were a set of Mesh Sun Shades included that clipped on to perfectly cover each rear side window and 2 pieces that together covered the rear windshield.
When moving 2 years ago i think they got tossed and now i'm expecting my first child and have been searching the internet to find replacements.

So far the closest I can find is this... except its for an accord
Amazon.com: Shade Styx Sunshade for Honda Accord 4-door 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 rear side window (Set of 2): Automotive Amazon.com: Shade Styx Sunshade for Honda Accord 4-door 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 rear side window (Set of 2): Automotive

Does anyone know where I can get this for a TSX / Accord EURO?

I can't tint my window due to my state laws forbidding aftermarket tint.

Thanks, and sorry for the double post - i had posted this previously in what was apparently a subsection of the forum. I figured the post would get more visibility here.

RI allows for 70% tint. There are several quality ceramic tint solutions that will reduce UV and increase heat rejection far better than the shades and far better than darker conventional tint.

The TSX comes with about 88% tint in the glass so you would technically need a 80% tint to comply with the 70% law (88% of 80 is 70.4). Most commonly available ceramic tint is 70% or less so you would be technically breaking the law with a 62% effective VLT - but - a cop would need a light meter to tell the difference - very unlikely.

Me? I'd go with 70 (or 80 if your installer can get it) Huper Optik ceramic.

i have these

The rear ones don't fit correctly because it's made for the accord even though they advertise is as the tsx ones...also the mounting tabs it comes with are horrible and fall off so i use strong Velcro to secure them to the window

I believe that the OEM privacy shades for the EURO/UK Accord was only made for the Tourer (station wagon) and not Saloon (sedan). Here is a link to the available accessories for the UK/Euro Accord, which show the privacy shades:

In-Depth - Article: Honda Accord Accessories 2011

It may be worth contacting a UK/Euro dealer and enquiring....if you PM me I can give you a few names.

+1 on Huper Optik ceramic tint. Even the clear tint will reduce heat and UV penetration very well.

As you can see, the folks across the pond get some nifty accessories that we don't: aluminum sport pedals (available for LHD), door handle protection film, bumper guards, roof boxes, etc.
