“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

“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

“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 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!”

“The fit was good as they are made to measure the most disappointing part was the ability to block out the sun. My car already has dark tinted windows so the tints plus these were a no brainer thinking it would give brilliant blockage from the sun. The reality was very different. They are just not dark enough and they do not block out enough sunlight. Incredibly stressful driving when your toddler is crying because the sun is in there eyes still, after spending £80. I then purchased a set of 4 stick on blinds for £12 that have 15000 4.5 stars overall which do in fact block out more light than these, no they don't cover the window all the way to the edges but you wouldn't expect them to for that price. So would I recommend car shades. No I wouldn't save yourself the money and get something cheaper. I imagine they would be good for dogs so the windows can be open but they can't get out but that's it.”

“Shades purchased for a Citroën C-Crosser, April 2021. The shades are well made and arrived quickly. However, they were extremely hard to fit despite viewing the Web videos. The written instructions in black and white are poor picture quality with no written guidance. I've had 3 people try to fit the shades. They do not stay in situ long as despite the flex in the shades the clips are not long enough to reach and slot down between the window glass and rubber seal. The shades are too big, and do not fit flush to the window. This results in the shade material saging and not being taught. Do not expect a smooth uniform look as a result. Frankly, I am not sure what the fix is other than taking them to a garage? I have tried putting the clips in different positions but they fail to stay in the rubber trim as they don't reach the trim. Do not expect black out shades either. These are more sunshades. A rather expensive £80 mistake that I would have preferred to have avoided.”

Dear Susan - we are sorry to learn that things aren't quite right with your Car Shades. We are going to send you a pack of new clips that have a slightly longer back on them so they can reach your trim so they are secure and do not move about. With regards to the fitting, please could you send us any pictures you have of your Car Shades in place so that we can review the fit because it sounds like something might not be quite right here and we want to help you resolve the issue - email reviews@carshades.co.uk Also please be assured if you aren't entirely happy with your Car Shades you are covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Car Shades
