I cant really comment as I dont have these side blinds, but arent they super fragile and the metal frame comes through and frays the edge? I could be wrong.

I have these blinds on my own car and never had any problems IIRC the earlier style ones with the plastic like material had problems with getting stuck or something but I think the netted fabric type were good for that.

Hi,
I have a genuine MB manual rear blind for a 202 saloon somewhere.

Taking the car apart again for another wiring loom put me off the rear blind a touch.

Does the manual one just screw in?

Yeah just screws down to through the shelf, though the material of the shelf doesn't hold the screws that securely, but they held it securely enough in mine.
Installing the loom for the electric item only takes a couple hours, fitting the blind probably another hour/hour and a half, four hours should see it fitted and working, having done this fit twice now I reckon I could do it in 2 to 3 hours now with all bits to hand (apart from cutting the switch hole).

That reminds me
