“Quite expensive but definitely worth the money. Fit perfectly and great quality. The fitting instructions could be better. Still have a piece that I don’t know what does”

“Very good and extremely easy to fit. A little on the tight side but after you get over the that they are easy.”

“These are definitely better than average car shades. Good coverage and fit well. The tool for the top and side clips does help, and the Youtube videos linked to the website are useful. Those clips work very well. Ironically, the more simple and common CL-MO clip for the bottom of the shade, proved more tricky in my car window. The instructions were not clear enough on the sheet. It was only when I stumbled on another Youtube video that covered the whole process (from July'19), I noticed from that the long part of the clip was facing the outside, when the instructions appear to suggest the opposite. Overall though, very pleased. UPDATE: A couple of weeks in, and the smaller shades are tending to pop out quite often. My family that travel in the back are starting to moan that you can see quite a bit of daylight behind the larger shade (halfway down), so I'm now questioning if it is a good fit after all. The weak point does seem to be the bottom (CL-MO) clip.”

“The shades are working really well! The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because I found the clips really really hard to put on the shades and it was a real nightmare. But once they are on I hope I never have to take them off again and the shades are in the car window. I do feel they were very expensive, I do expect to pay more as they were custom size for my car type specifically but would have been happier if they were slightly less in cost.”

“After some issues with my order, during which I found it impossible to contact using the phone number, the issue was resolved via social media. I have received the shades and they are now fitted. The fitting instructions are pretty poor, however when I finally worked out how the shades fitted it really is rather simple. The shades for well, but due to the delay in receiving the shades the weather has changed and at this time I am unable to say how effective they are”

“the side shades fitted perfectly but the rear window one was just a bit to big and has to overlap in the middle rather than butt together.”

“They are great, I just wish they could give a little more sun protection, since on a long trip the sun's rays turn out to be very annoying for the baby. For the rest we are happy with them.”

“Very very impressed. Very high quality, fits perfectly and securely. My only criticism are the instructions. The low quality of the photos make it difficult to see which of the two clips are being used on what part. We eventually just trialed and errored our way to fitting them. Once fitted, they're superb. We've now ordered more for our second car.”

“Really like the shades but, we can’t get the small,clips that go over the small,side windows that don’t open. They did send me a couple of spares as we lost one, but we are still trying with various glues to get them to stick hopefully it will stick somehow eventually But others they are really good.”

“The shades fit my Hyundai I20 perfectly. and ensure a good degree of privacy and shade in the back of the car. They look good both inside and outside the care. They are well made and look sturdy enough for years of use, if handled carefully. I found the side rear window panels easy to fit. My only criticism is that the clips on the two sections of the back window shades are very difficult to fit, particularly for people like pensioners with some arthritis. It took all my strength to get them into position on the shade, with the aid of pliers. I was concerned I might break a clip fitting the rear window panels. (I broke one clip during fitment of side panels, but luckily there was a spare). I think a few more spare clips would be very helpful. Again, I think a written explanation of how to fit the clips in the instructions would help to explain the visual images in the manual. The video's were very helpful, but I was doing a little head scratching figuring out the right way to fit the rear window panels. All in all, I'm very pleased with the quality of the panels which make the back of my car a much more pleasant environment. A better quality option, which is more flexible and less expensive than professionally fitted window tinting. Any comments are quibbles. Service and delivery were fast and excellent. Very pleased!”

“First of all the shades look great. The connections are a bit fiddly and unlike your youtube video the shades aren't easy to fit. Mine were purchased for a 2012 BMW 1 series and the shades are supposed to fit a 2011 through 2019 model. I suspect compromises were made. The written fitment instructions are also too small to locate the exact positioning of the connections. I haven't tried them yet with the windows open but hopefully they won't fall out”

“Great product, excellent quality and a perfect fit for my Audi Q7, but let down by poor instructions. For a start it doesn't tell you where the blind sits? I assumed it installed from the interior side and sits against the plastic window trim. After scratching my head trying to work out how it fits, I discovered it fits through the open window and sits quite close to the glass. Secondly the supplied clips are complex shape but the instructions don't tell you which way to be fit them to the blind? I tried both ways and believe I have them the right way round! Once installed, the blind sits very close to the glass and I had a very nervous few tests taking the window up and down in case the clips scratched my window but it seems fine. They work well and do a great job of keeping the Sun off anyone in the back seat, and look very nice. I would recommend them but the instructions need to be clearer with maybe a close-up of the correct position of the mounting clip.”

“Expensive, but Good qua;ity, good fit, although very disappointed that the rear screen came as 2 pieces and not one straight across? This wasn’t mentioned in the description and pictures shows one shade.”

“The shades are really lovely quality, however, the passenger window shades do not fit inside the frame properly and they keep falling out, the back window ones are fine. The clips supplied are very thin and don’t seem to fit the window frame adequately which results in the shades regularly falling off. It’s a shame as they work a treat.”

“Although only 4 stars given I think these shades are very good, especially for when taking the grandchildren on holidays and days out. My only grievance is that on fitting the nearside one to my Kia the front clip snapped under the window frame rubber when fitting the shade. I rang the company who were very helpful and a new set of clips were posted off that day. However on trying to fit the shade into the new nearside clip, that also snapped. I shall ask again for a new set of clips for spare, as I do not intend to use the shades permanently, only for when the grandchildren are present and removing/replacing the shades may incur the same problem. I do like the handy inclusion of a storage bag which will keep the shades clean and protected under the boot floor panel. My only suggestion, considering that 2 clips snapped (I am not heavy handed) is that the clips should be made of a thicker, stronger gauge metal as this snapping problem only tends to spoil what is a very good product.”
