These shades are very well made and come in a handy zipped bag. Sadly, although we ordered the correct option, they simply don’t fit! They are just a little too big and there is no way to get them into place. Also, I was disappointed to find that some of the clips were adhesive backed and my experience of these with other items hasn’t been good. Lastly, the fitting instructions are hopeless, both online and printed - I’ve never come across anything so inadequate. Such a pity, as they seemed perfect but proved to be useless.

The shades fitted well but found that not all the clips fitted easily and in fact had to open up some of them with pliers so they would fit the shade edging better. Also found in the instructions description picture of the clips not easy to distinguish one from another. Would suggest the clips are numbered or color coded to show in the diagram where they should be used. Also, two of the top clips for the side door windows came out when the window was opened and closed and they were lost. Would not recommend product to anyone else.

The speed of delivery and quality of the product was excellent. Installing the shades was very difficult. Firstly trying to attach the clips to the shade was very very difficult. The video made it look like it was a 1 second job but it must of taken me 5 minutes per clip. Having a video to show how to install was great but the detail on the video was very poor. Really need a step by step guide clearly showing how to fit them.

I didnt want to get shades for both mar rear side windows and side windows but the option to get the side windows was only available for estate car, so I figured I'll go with it why not... Turn out it was a massive waste of money because the way the back windows are on my car makes it almost impossible to see through the mesh, so I took it out.

Hi Igor - we are sorry you are not entirely satisfied with your Car Shades but we can confirm you are covered by our 30-day guarantee should you wish to return them. If you do you can start the process by emailing us at sales@carshades.co.uk Given that the Car Shades are made from a light-reducing fabric this will impact visibility through the rear window, but one of the benefits of them is that they can easily be removed as and when required. Thank you Car Shades

The actual product itself is great and does the job it is intended for. However, the instructions or lack of them are just plain ridiculous. The video clip was too far away to see what he was actually doing and the instructions provided were useless. There were 8 clips, 4 in a plastic bag with the other 4 loose with the product which could very easily have been misplaced.

Hi Sharon Thank you for your feedback and honest assessment regarding the instructions which we agree need improving for this particular set. We are working through a project to update and improve all of our instructions therefore we will use your comments to help us revisit them for this set. Thank you Car Shades

They look good in ads, delivery was fast. Fitting is horrible. Do not trust videos from them. Manual is a cheap photocopy and if you do that the first time - you end up with car plastic and window scratches including breaking the rubber seal. In the end - they look cheap, not flat but like your material has loose. Definitely not tailored exactly to my car even it says it does. For £80 I would think they would fit perfectly. Maybe use magnets? Then there are gaps and the light easy gets inside. So nothing special about the product. Considering return as wrongly advertised.

Disappointed with the very poor and insecure fitting into the Honda Civic 2016. Previously purchased for a Nissan qashqai 2013 and they are perfect but in the civic they use different clips which are useless. Every time I open the door the shades fall out. Emailed customer support and had no response.

Hi Chris We are sorry to learn that your Car Shades aren't fitting into your Honda Civic perfectly at the moment, if we sent you some more clips with a longer backplate to get further into the door seal do you think that would help? If so please email us at reviews@carshades.co.uk and we'll get some more clips out to you asap. Also please accept our apologies for the delayed response to your original emails. Thanks Car Shades

Was expecting a more perfect fit. The clips provided are too tight and cause damage.

The shades are not a good fit, there are not enough clips, the shades fall off quite regularly. I have followed the instructions. Very poor product. I’d advise having the windows tinted instead of wasting money on the shades.

Purchased the whole kit for 2009 Ford focus. Rear window and rear quarterlight fit ok. Rear passenger shades are a waste of time. Do not fit correctly and cannot believe anyone expects them to stay in place. Belive me the instructions were followed. Would only recommend rear blind but this cannot be purchased on its own, I did ask.

I ordered the shades for a Fiat500 3 door. The shades for the back side windows fitted perfectly and were easy to install. However, the shades for the back window do not fit. They are too large to fit into the window space as intended. I shall be returning for a refund. I am very disappointed.

The main issue is that in direct sunlight they still let a lot of light through and do not actually provide any shade. We bought them to keep the sun off our baby and they aren’t suitable for this job. The shades were however easy to install and fit perfectly to the rear windows.

Hi Josh We are sorry you aren't completely satisfied with your Car Shades, as the shades are made from a mesh fabric unfortunately some light will still come through as they aren't a complete blackout solution, however, independent tests conclude that light is reduced by 72% compared to windows that don't have shades in place. Please be assured you are covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee if you would like to return your Car Shades and to initiate this all you need to do is contact our customer services team at sales@carshades.co.uk Thank you Car Shades

The short video for fitting doesn’t reflect how difficult they are to fit . They don’t fit the windows of a 2014 Evoque very well

These are nice shades but unfortunately the attachment to the window frame is not as secure as it could be - resulting in the shade sometimes blowing in and falling down if the window is cracked open while travelling at speed. This could be rectified with a few additional clips to keep the shade in place more securely. Given the price of the shades, providing a few spare clips it's not much to ask, particularly as it's highly likely some of the clips will be lost if you aren't using the shades year round. I did contact CAR SHADES to ask whether I could obtain some additional clips to solve this problem but didn't receive any response. Based on this issue and complete lack of customer service I sadly can't rate the overall product or customer experience very highly.

Hi Justin Thank you for your constructive feedback and sorry to hear of the problem you have faced. I will follow up with our customer service team covering the Car Shades mailbox to see why there has been no follow up to your request. However in the mean time I can confirm that I have now initiated a request to send a full replacement clip pack to you free of charge

Hi CarShades, as you will see by the photos the fit of your profiles are very poor with gaps all the way round. This is such a shame because the quality of the product is great and your ordering to delivery service was excellent.

Hi Del - thanks for the images to show us the issues you are facing as clearly these aren't quite fitting right. Firstly could we check that your Car Shades have the required clips fitted to them as there are 2 x ML13 clips that should be applied to the bottom edge of the passenger door shades that has a 'step' in the clip which should pull the Car Shade slightly inwards and up which may resolve your issue? As for the tailgate Car Shade, again if we can just check that the clips have been applied as per the fitting instruction as that should again hopefully allow the Car Shades to fit tight against the trim. If you would like to confirm to us at reviews@carshades.co.uk or let us know if you are still having issues we will provide more help to resolve the issue. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you Car Shades

Look the part but can’t believe for £40 the poor quality! The blinds keep popping off our VW sharan already and our children have no protection from the light. Not a happy customer!
