Hi, new user here, with a '25 Job 2 (I think).

Does anyone know if there's an aftermarket or OEM solution to install second row window screens/shades, since Ford oh-so-helpfully deleted them?

You could just get some OE door panels, but otherwise the way their designed you couldn’t just retrofit them.

Buy a couple of rear door panels and the window trim with the hooks built in off eBay. Wouldn’t take 30 minutes to swap it all out.

They sell aftermarket snap in/stock in shades for these vehicles. Not as nice as the built in roll ups but there are options. I have a full set for my car. Front row, 2nd row and the rear window in the 3rd row.

3rd row I leave in all the time and they snap into place. No retainers needed. Front outside you can’t see in at all.

2nd row you’ll need to use the stick on retainers, otherwise I use the peasant blockers in my 23 to hold them in place. I actually really like the OEM shades. Didn’t think I would.

Front row ones I only use when I put the windshield shade in place.

Definitely a feature I could have lived without. I've used ours perhaps a half dozen times, our 4-year-old prefers sunglasses. The shades make noise when in the up position. I've heard others say theirs make noise while down, but mine are quiet when not in use.

Solved: This is an awesome alternative for around $95.00 that offer more coverage than OEM

These shades are are specifically designed for 6th Gen Explorers 20-25. They fit firmly in to the window sills and can be easily installed and removed. They also include a magnet attachment, but mine stay on tight without needing to use the magnets. They are wire framed and can be adjusted by slightly bending them to your desired fitment. Good quality too. I absolutely love them.

You get the 2nd row and 3/4 panel covers if you want
