“They work but the clips were incredibly difficult to attach, if these had been pre applied it would have been a 4 star review”

“The fit is great, they really work for keeping the sun out and visibility through the shades is great. However after 3 days the sticky tabs that hold the boot shades on have fallen off and no longer hold the shades in place, which is a bit disappointing. If this wasnt the case, would be a solid 5*.”

We are really sorry to hear that your shades are falling off - we will send some more sticky tabs in the post today. Can I suggest that you clean the glass before you try to apply these. The surface of the glass should be grease free prior to putting the tabs on. Hope this helps

“My customer service experience has been terrible - I have been enquiring about an exchange for almost a week, and have not yet had a clear response (replying to my enquiry simply with nothing but a website link is extremelt poor). The blinds themselves look great, and the delivery time was fab, but the customer service has let down the whole experience for me.”

We are very sorry for your delay in receiving your replacement fitting clip set. We have been closed over Christmas which meant we were very busy when we returned to work and then to add to the delay we send these kits out via Royal Post and we only took the items at the beginning of this week. Once again please accept our sincere apologies.

“Nice looking shades that cover all parts of the rear windows. The instructions are a little obscure so I had to phone up to get some advice. The guy I spoke to was very helpful so I eventually managed to fit the shades fine. The shades block out some of the sun but I have still found myself having to squint when sat in the back with my toddler.,”

We are very sorry that you have had issues with fitting your car shade products, but pleased to hear that you have managed to resolve after advice from our customer service department. We do have some videos on the Car Shade website for future reference. Unfortunately, our shades do not block out all sunshine but we are surprised that what is being allowed through is enough to cause you to squint. As a last resort if you are not satisfied with our products you can return for a refund.

“The blinds fit perfectly but the retaining clips are either the wrong type or not quite the right shape. Instructions were a little poor too. Minor improvements could make this product perfect.”

“Hi, Sorry only getting round to sending this in now, as I purchased the Car Shades - BMW X5 2014-17 - Full Rear Set back in February, but only got round to fitting them last month. The blinds themselves are very good quality and fit the windows perfectly. My only difficulty with the blinds, is the clips supplied, as they do not keep the rear door blinds in place. If a person gets in or out of the car and shuts the door, the blind drops out, so you have to keep fitting them back in. I did purchase a spare set of clips, but they did not work. Good blind, but pity about the clips.”

Hi Jimmy - we are sorry that the clips are struggling to stay in place on your model. We are going to send you some complimentary clips that are called M03, they are the same profile as the M13 clips you have in your set but have a slightly longer back plate to hopefully grab into the door seal a little better. We'll get those out to you this week. Thanks Car Shades

“Excellent product but I can only give 3 stars as let down big time by after sales care, such a shame that companies don't realise how important that is, thank you Steve Stockwell for taking ownership of the problem and sorting it for me.”

“They are a good idea and they look smart. However, on the back window, where they spilt, I have a solid black line down the middle of my back window. I don’t understand why you can’t make it so it’s all one shade?”

Hi Beckie Thank you for your feedback and comments. The tailgate window is manufactured in 2 parts for several reasons: 1. Because many rear windows are curved, it isn't possible to get a single piece Car Shades that wide to follow the curve of the window perfectly, therefore we manufacture in 2 parts to get a perfect fit 2. They are easier to store in the boot in 2 pieces when not in use in the storage bag supplied 3. They are also easier to fit in 2 pieces rather than one We hope the feedback is of use and explains why we manufacture Car Shades for the boot in 2 pieces. Thank you Car Shades

“Bought shades for two different cars one fitted perfectly the other (Volvo XC90) does not. It has a gap at the bottom of the shade and in order for it to stay in place the clips need to be move to the side of the shade rather than the bottom which is shown on the instructions. Overall well made though.”

“Excellent product on the side windows but reduces visibility too much out of the rear window”

Helpful Report

Hi Ian - we are sorry to learn that you are slightly disappointed with your Car Shades due to the rear window visibility. Given it is a mesh fabric it will obscure some of the view unfortunately, however the Car Shades are very easy to pop out and store if required, especially if driving at night. Thank you Car Shades

“Would of been 5 stars,but the the instructions on how to install the blinds were not very good just pictures that were too dark to see the clips and not enough clips for blinds I bought.Contacted the company and was offered more clips free of charge,but had already ordered more clips on line by the time my email was answered.Other than that blinds are well made and look great.”

“I don’t think the two piece rear window idea works. In both cars, I have removed the rear blinds because the centre bars obscure the view or else one pops out when opening the tailgate”

Hi Paul - we are sorry to learn that you aren't entirely happy with your tailgate Car Shades. We manufacture the tailgate shades in two pieces so that they can follow the curve of the window to allow a perfect fit, but also make them easier to remove and store when not in use. If you require any further clips to join the two pieces together please don't hesitate to contact us at sales@carshades.co.uk Thank you Car Shades
