“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?”

Hi Sarah - if you would like any more clips sending to attach to your frame to try and remove any small gaps, please drop us an email to reviews@carshades.co.uk and we'll get these out to you asap. Thanks also for your feedback regarding the mesh, we have passed your comments on to our development team who are constantly looking at options to help improve the product. Thanks Car Shades

“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.”

Hi Arwel - thanks for your feedback, and we are glad your clip issue got quickly resolved. We also acknowledge your comment about the installation manual and are currently working our way through a programme to update the manuals that need improvement. Thanks again for the constructive feedback.

“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.”

“Nice windows shades. Good quality materials, excellent fit. Preferable to window tint. I would have preferred a purchase option of rear passenger windows plus fixed rear side windows, omitting the rear window (ie 4 pieces). At the moment you offer either passenger windows (2), or the whole set of 5.”

Hi Paul Thanks for your feedback and we recognise the point you are making and it is something that we are looking at the possibility of offering in the future. The reason why we offer either Rear Passenger door sets or Full Rear Sets and not the option for individual load windows or tailgate windows is that we manufacture them in these sets configurations and the load area windows and tailgate shades aren't manufactured on their own. However, as stated this is something we have under review and may offer in the future. Thanks

“Not the best of experiences. Ordered the right item but was sent the wrong item. Replacement item dispatched and now the clips that hold it in place were wrong. Had to request new clips. The clips that hold it in place do not work well and the shades fall out regularly. Expensive for what they are especially as they dont work that well.”

“Product OK but a big delay in the shipment to EU countries. Ordered the 22nd of June and still in transit on the 16th of July.”

Hi Hans - we are sorry your order is taking so long to arrive. Please can we ask you to double-check if you have had any correspondence from the shipping company to pay the import duty because that can be a cause of delay if this hasn't been cleared? If you do require any further assistance please do contact us at sales@carshades.co.uk - thank you

“Purchased the full rear set for my S class Mercedes-Benz. The rear window was a perfect fit but the two side window shades absolutely do not fit the window nor do the clips supplied. Disappointing.”

“The shades are of good quality, however they do not quite 'fit like a glove'! It would be sensible to supply more of the clips for fitting the shades (they can't be expensive!) so that if dropped, they can easily be lost OR as happened in my case lost completely and now I am unable to use one shade due to a passenger accidentally knocking it off on leaving the car and the clips could not be found! It's these small details that can make a difference, hence my three star rating.”

“Pleased with the product and delivery was very fast. Only two things. They don't work with a rear reversing camera, maybe wouldst work with a rear dashcam either, and they don't answer the phone when i tried to contact them?”

Hi Michelle - thanks for your feedback. When we manufacture tailgate Car shades they are usually on windows that do not include a rear dashcam therefore unfortunately any dashcams in a vehicle would cause a slight issue. Also if you have any further questions you can email us at reviews@cashades.co.uk Thank you

“As a previous purchaser again I would give the product 10/10, however I am extremely disappointed with the delivery of the products by the courier service that Carshades have used. I am in Ireland and last time I had my order within 7-10 days.. this time i was hit with a €27.90 customs charge (thanks Brexit) and it took a ridiculous 4 weeks with a journey via Germany ?? instead of direct Uk to Ireland.. I understand customs charges are out of Carshades hands but they still should make it clearer to the customer during the checkout process of the charges and delivery times (4+ weeks) with their current couriers.”

Hi Don - thank you for your feedback and we do appreciate your frustrations. We have taken your comments on board and are reviewing how the information is displayed, however unfortunately as yet there is no consistency from different countries when charges are applied making it difficult to provide accurate customer information. However, we'll of course update our information accordingly as things progress and we get clarity. Thank you again for your comments.

“Hi got them on the Tuesday which was good and fast as I ordered them on the Sunday which was good but when going to put them on they a bit to big as they don’t quite fit and then the clips to hold it keep on coming of so that needs sorting out if that is would be good and then they would be Worth the money 💰 but as it they are not at the moment because for 86.00 + that is a lot thanks nigel”
