Default Rear Window Sun-Screen Mesh

Hello ~ I've got a single (I've seen models with two) pull up sun screen that's attached to my back deck in which the fine mesh is torn. I would like to repair/replace but have been unsuccesful finding this item in the new or used market. It is a beige housing. Ideas ??

Cadillac,
(nice signature, by the way)

Thanks for the info .. I called Jagbits @ the link you've provided & they cannot get any longer. Will just have to keep my eyes open for used to show up on ebay.

The same fabric(?) is used in generic window shades although color might be a different color than your trim ..maybe a white one could be dyed to match? (Just an idea).
I'd have a look at shades from different makes (Cadillac maybe?) - maybe you could rebuild yours using fabric from a more commonly available model?

btw, mine has two ..clips tend to snap but can be repaired.

Thanks for your compliment about the signature
I am sorry to hear that , well there is another source that just comes in my mind and I have to tell
AutoAnything | Auto Accessories & Aftermarket Parts | Truck Accessories & Car Accessories - Floor Mats, Tonneau Covers & Car Covers
BTW, I have not seen single shade in Jaguars , yours could be aftermarket ?

Lawrence,

I'll take a look & see how involved it is to disassemble .. I think that's going to be the best option. Thanks.
