“False advertising - No UV protection The material lacks UV protection and does not block direct sunlight.”

Hi - Thank you for your review. Here is a little more information regarding our lab tests in relation to your feedback. The main fabric used in the construction of the Car Shades product is a polyester mesh fabric. The fabric is treated with a UV stabiliser so that it doesn’t fade over time when being exposed to direct sunlight. The fabric also has a flame-retardant coating to ensure it complies with motor vehicle standards for interior trim products The primary function of the product is to reduce sunlight into the rear cab of the car. Laboratory test data states that light reduction into the rear of the vehicle is on average 72% compared to when no shades are used at all. This means sunlight entering the rear cab of the car is significantly reduced compared to when no shade is used but still allows rear passengers to see out and with the fabric being a mesh construction rather than opaque means that air can also flow through if the rear windows are opened. The UPF rating on the product is 3.5 in accordance with Intertek testing laboratories. We have our fabric tested at independent laboratories for multiple purposes. This is to include flammability testing, colour fastness to light, colour fastness to rubbing, light reduction and UV protection. The tests we have carried out on the fabric is a ‘Solar UV Protective Properties of Apparel Fabric – BS EN 13758-1:2002’. There are two types of UV rays which are UVA and UVB - Our fabric test checks for both. The mean UVA rating of our fabric is 29.4 and the mean UVB is 29.1 If we took the lesser of the two we would therefore claim that our Car Shades fabric has a UPF of 29.1 (ie 1/29th of the suns UV rays pass through and exposure is reduced by 29 times – 1 in 29 – or 58%) Therefore our UPF rating for the product is 29.1 and considered as a very good UPF In summary, our Car Shades product does indeed offer UV protection, it is not a total UV block out and it does not reduce 100% of sunlight entering into the rear of the car. As stated, its function is to reduce the amount of bright sunlight entering the rear of the car and by nature of how we achieve that and the type of fabric we use there is a UV reduction attained accordingly. We hope the additional information is of use and please don't hesitate to contact us if you require any further information. Thank you Car Shades

“Very pleased with the shades for my Skoda kamiq, fit perfect. Would recommend them.”

“I was a little apprehensive due to some of the reviews and the fact the shades aren't cheap. I purchased the full set for my Hyundai Ioniq 5 and am pleased thus far (the weather hasn't been good enough to test them properly)! The blinds are not too hard to fit though the instructions could be clearer. I made a few scuffs on the trim trying to get the clips to attach but I'm not bothered, the car is meant to be used! Overall pretty happy, just need the instructions to be clearer; more words or better videos would be very helpful.”

“Massive regret purchasing this product. Firstly, fitting instructions are shockingly bad. A couple of videos on their website provided some help, but the instruction sheet that comes with the product is all but useless. The produt itself looks well made but in my case was too large for the window and did not sit flush inside the window recess. After raising this with customer services they insisted the product was correct and that i would need to keep adjusting it until i got the correct fit. The only problem with this is that the clips they provide, not only do they not appear to fit particularly well, are also made of metal. Therefore, attempting to manipulate a product with three sharp metal clips attached to it, that is clearly too big for the space intended, has inevitably resulted in several scratches to the surrounding window trim. I am currently in the process of arranging a return for refund. The whole experience has proven to be a damaging and costly mistake which i hugely regret. Much of this could be avoided if the company put a bit more care into demonstrating to their customers how the product should be fitted and what it should look like once complete, especially as there is the potential to damage your vehicle if the product is marginally too large/”

“First class. I've been looking a while for car shades that don't look like cheap . I finally took the plunge and went for something a bit more expensive and glad I did. Great for the kids, and even work with the windows down whilst driving”

“Fits the window well. Fitting instructions provided with the QR code were generic and had to search the website for specific instructions for my items. One of the shades has a tendency to pop out of its fitting occasionally. Generally seems to work well however”

“First impressions are good, seem very well made and equally as good as VW branded shade at 4 times the price. Very easy to fit and come with a storage bag for when you need to take them out. They compliment the car well. As the driver, they don't obstruct my view, infact help with proliferal gare. Window operation is not obstructed, they have minimal flutter and haven't blown out. Shading is excellent they let just the right amount of light through. Happy so far”

“All in all a very good fit. I have the 2 rear side blinds that are a very tight fit, so much so that they are crushed slightly and have caused the fabric to sit rippled. But not the end of the world really. They look good”
