“Product is great Instructions are terrible, poor quality pictures and can’t see any details had no idea which way round clip went, still not sure installed correctly. Online video is great if that’s the clips you have but mine was different.”

“Overall pretty happy with these. the side shades both on the rear doors and quarter windows are great; no complaints at all. Coming to the rear screen shades I’ve found a few issues. The frames of the shades are quite stiff and appear to be slightly too big for the window aperture. This results in the shades trying to return to shape (flat) in a compound curve situation. This pulls the clips out of the plastic moulding and the stress / force put on the adhesive clips easily overpowers them and they fly off every time I open the rear hatch. The two halves of the shades have to cross over each other in the centre of the window or they don’t fit at all. The force put on the two top metal clips have pulled the plastic moulding out of its mounts also. I now can’t open the rear hatch independently of the boot as the shades fall out, making the handy feature of the split window opening unusable. I seems I need another 4/6 adhesive retainers to run along the underside of the window to have a chance of them being secured in place.”

Hi James - we are sorry you are having a few issues with your tailgate Car Shades, we will get some more adhesive clips out to you asap. In terms of helping to get them to fit better, please can you check that the bottom corners of the Car Shades are pressed firmly into the trim which may require a bit of pressure to push them into place which usually then aligns the Car Shades so that meet flush in the middle. If this doesn't help, if you can send any images of the fitting you have to reviews@carshades.co.uk and we'll take a look to see if we can offer any more advice. Thank you Car Shades

“Great car shades, but shocking fit for the opening windows, and the metal clips supplied end up damaging the internal window trims when you try and fit them. They also don’t fit size wise very well! Not impressed! As for the shades for the fixed windows, they are an excellent fit and well thought out.”

Hi Stephen - we are sorry that your Car Shades for the rear passenger windows are not a good fit. Would it be possible to send us some pictures of the whole of the window so we can see the fit and how the clips are positioned on the frame so we can see how we can help resolve the issue you're facing? Please send any images to reviews@carshades.co.uk Thank you Car Shades

“The shades fit the rear windows perfectly and are of reasonably good quality. They also arrived fairly quickly. As another reviewer observes, the fitting instructions provided simply aren’t detailed enough given the cost of the product, plus those in the box aren’t entirely consistent with those online. As a result, one of the clips came off while my wife was driving, landing somewhere near our baby and never to be seen again. In fairness to the customer services team, I’m told that replacement clips are on the way to me free of charge, which is greatly appreciated. As it’s unclear whether the clip came off due to its design or because I fitted it incorrectly, I hope the problem isn’t repeated!”

“The shades are a great sun blocking solution with a newborn, however, the clips to attach the shades to the windows are awful quality. They snap or fall off. This has made me very nervous as the clips could fall into my baby's car seat. For the price of the shades the clips to attach need to be vastly improved.”

“Bmw x5 e70. Let down by the poor instructions on how to fit, the images are not clear and took me over an hour to figer out the best way to secure the shades and I am a automotive technician. I thought the clips provided are generic and not vehicle specific. This is the only let down, these shades are very well made and high quality, I would 100% buy again and recommend. Let down by an easy fix otherwise 5 stars.”

“Blinds are of high quality however two of the CL-M05 clips were broken so the blinds are not attached well. Also the lever that was advertised in your video was not supplied. If possible I’d like replacement CL-M05 and lever please.”

“The shades are ok… i would not describe them as premium quality. However, they are not poor quality. They are tailor fit but not to the best possible fitment. The clips are rubbish and they need some sort of instruction with each clip labelled. All in all a 6/10 !”

“A good solution for window shades, but the fit is not as good as I had hoped and I am regularly popping them back in. The “shade” it creates is good, but we bought for a newborn and it is probably not strong enough for her.”

“This was my 2nd set of car shades , bought for my 2010 Mercedes’ A Class . The 1st set purchased for my 2007 A class fitted fine . This set works fine on the side windows and rear windows , but the rear quarter window covers don’t fit well and fall off soon after fitting , despite multiple attempts to refit . Very frustrating .”

“Whilst the shades themselves fit well, the clips are of a poor quality. During the first journey with the blinds fitted, my son got his fingers under the bottom edge of the blind and pulled, causing the rear clip to break.”

“Although the shades look very professional made and do filter some light out, the fit in the windows was not perfect, leaving small gaps for light to come in, and the largish holes in the mesh meant that my baby was still squinting as the sunlight shone through the window in her face. Perhaps the mesh needs to have smaller apertures?”

“I felt some problems installing the rear passenger window protections. The underside of the lining of the Volvo V40/2019's rear doors are not flat but an wedge. So it is not possible to hold the sun protection easily at the bottom. The best solution was to work with two CL-M02 clips from the inside, at the bottom of the sun protection and the two CL-M05 clips at the top, otherwise the protection would fall to the glass side. I had to avoid using the CL-M02 clips on the other sunscreens set. I don't know what the result will be in a long time.”

“Not as easy to fit as the short videos suggest, a lot stiffer than the ones used in those videos for sure. Saying that this means they are very sturdy. Also the clips are not as easy to use as the videos. Not exactly what I expected but do the job. But for what they are the price is very high. If they fitted the windows perfectly they would be worth the money but there are slight gaps and don’t fit like I thought they would. Overall opinion is average.”

“I ordered two sets of shades for our cars, unfortunately there were no clips in one kit, however a quick email sorted that and they were delivered promptly- these things happen from time to time. The manuals are very very poor, it leaves a fair bit of guess work when it comes to fitting the clips and which way round they go. I bought them as our 8 month old little boy has Cataracts in both eyes so bright light aggravates his little eyes. On the plus side they do look good and I think they will do the job. Just not sure on how sturdy the the clips will hold the shades in place.”

“Shades fit well enough and look good on my Volvo V60. However, the fitting manual is poor and needs improvement/elaboration. The upper fixing clip, positioned in accordance with the manual, fouls the top of the rear door window glass, stopping the glass from closing so has to be removed and put to the side.”
