Rear Sun Blind/Shade

Hey all,

I've bought a rear sun blind, and while it has all the clips on the blind that I need, I'm not sure about exactly what I need on the car side in order to hold it up. I know how I'm going to put it into the parcel shelf, but not how the blind will attach to the back of the headliner.

In other words I have parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 but not sure about 5. Is it already in the headliner and I need just need to locate it under the headliner and then expose it, or will I need to buy two of them and then install them myself?

I've tried searching, all I can find is pics of the parcel shelf w/ blind out of the car, nothing in the car installed and no mention of the part #5 clips or anything...

Thanks

You need two of item 5.
I located the holes in the header rail by holding the blind up,then feeling for the hole winkeye with a fingertip...

cool thanks for the tip.
I'll try my luck at the dealer for part #5 and go from there.
