“Brilliant. Does the job perfectly. Kids no longer crying about sun in their eyes. Only thing is the little triangular window ones keep falling out.”

“The shades are very good quality, the fabric looks strong and hopefully snag free, they fit really well. Being able to use the windows as normal is great. Having a shade for the quater lights and rear windows is good too. I originally had my reservations about the rigidity of how they fixed into the car but I guess without making modifications to the car they had very few options. As it goes they are still in place without adjustment many months later. My only criticism is that the fabric could be thicker, my previous over door shades were a lot thicker. When the sun directly shines the fabric isnt really thick enough to stop it going in the childrens eyes. Maybe different thickness fabric options would be good”

“The fitting could have been slightly better but on the whole very pleased”

“Not bad. :) Side window shades are great. Rear window shade is a bit tricky to get it right. At the moment its split in two pieces, that creates unpleasant gap in the middle. Even if you could join the middle together properly without leaving see throu gaps (which you cant with those clips provided) you would have a thick solid line in the middle of the rear window, obstructing the view. If thats not the issue for someone then its just an eye soar in the middle of the rear window. while side shades fit nice and firmly the rear window shads do not share same characteristics. they looks a bit to small and there is room for shades to move. Which causes the shades to drop out if you hit some potholes or rough terrain. Staying fixed issues could be also contributed to fairly week installation solutions for rear window. Sliding clips could be a bit longer, to offset too small shade shape for rear window. Maybe then it would stay in place. what i did is used one clip from each side shades and put them on the rear window shades, to keep them more secured. which helped but not fully solved the issue of falling out on rough terrain.”

“Shades themselves are a great fit and very effective. My only suggestion would be that instructions for fitting need to be clearer, as the connection clips can be used the wrong way around, and then tend to pop back off. Once inserted the correct way around they work fine - so clearer instructions would be helpful!”

“Very happy once I got over the fitting problems. Found watching the video more help than the written instructions.”

“They tear easily and the fittings don't quite hold them in place”

“The shade fit well, we delivered promptly & appear to be robust, attaching with small metal clips that do not detract from the overall look. Not a cheap option, but better than anything else out there I could find....”

“For a non-OEM supplier, they make really very good pieces of kit. I purchased a set for two different cars and both fit quite well. Clips to hold the shades in place are a little bit finicky but they do the job. Customer Service team are very help as well when I requested larger clips for one car to make fitting easier. They shipped them out immediately, with spares, at no charge. Would strongly recommend and will buy again when changing car.”

“The shades were as expected, and delivery was very prompt. However the 2 panels to the rear window were a poor fit.”

“This is the second car I've had carshades in. Both times I had side and rear window shades. The first car was an estate and the second a saloon. Both rear windows were of a split shade fitting, two pieces meeting in the middle. I'm not a fan of this arrangement as it puts a thick black line down the centre of your rear window, and they don't meet perfectly leaving a slight gap even with the clip trying to pull them together. Another issue I've come across is the fitting of a rear view camera is impossible as the shade don't allow for this in anyway, I tried modifying the saloon shades but ended up throwing them away. Personally I like to be able to identify who/what's behind me, these shades are to obstructive for this which is why I wasn't bothered when I couldn't get them to fit around my camera. As for actual shade they are excellent. My first set had stick on clips but the second set had pretty useless clips that push into the trim. I daren't open the windows to much in fear the shade would get sucked out. The trim clips have a low profile compared to the stick on clips.”

“The shades in the rear of my Audi A6 are brilliant for shielding tools or keeping the dog cool, but the rear passenger windows are OK unless you open the windows. They get dislodged and then jam the windows.”

“I bought these shades as I wanted something that covered the entire window and didn't just stick on. The fact you can still roll the window down is a bonus. Fitting was very simple once you figure out how the brackets work (watch the youtube video), I'd recommend them and would buy again for the next car.”

“It's a great product. Fits perfectly. Not 5 * just for the reason we can't buy an individual shade. In my case I did not need the boot one. But I also wonder if one of my kids damage one of them, would I then need to buy the whole set again?”

“Quick delivery and good prices. System is easy to fit but brackets would deserve to be stronger as can easily break. Great experience overall.”

“I bought car shades for my KIA Ceed SW during the very hot, sunny period of 2020, firstly to keep the car cool and secondly with a view to using it for some stealth "car camping". They arrived quickly and I was impressed by the finish of the individual items and the fact that they come in a zipped storage bag. So why only 4 stars? The KIA set includes two large shades for the rear doors plus two small, triangular units on either side of the luggage area. These all fitted nice and snugly. The two shades for the rear screen, however, were too wide and couldn't be made to align correctly in the middle - there was always an overlap and this would result in one of them dropping down as I drove along leaving only one half of the rear screen covered. Car Shades weren't able to offer any solution to this other than to say their shades were modelled around dimensions taken from an actual car. In the end I snicked through the blind material along the top rail and cut a short length from the top rod. This enabled me to squeeze the frame in to the correct size and they now fit perfectly. Pleased that I bought the shades, just sorry that I had to cut them to make them fit.”

Hi Jeffrey - thank you for the comprehensive feedback it is appreciated, however we are concerned that you had to cut the rear Car Shades to make them fit, and whilst we appreciate we have discussed this with you previously and weren't able to offer a solution, we have passed these comments back to our development team. Thank you

“Good quality product, well built. They didn’t have my exact model of car but I got a similar model and modified it to fit. Probably better to get them to make you one though. A fee extra clips to secure it would be nice you only get 2 per window”

“Review for Vauxhall Zafira B: Really good quality shades unfortunately when driving two of the shades in the tailgate kept falling off (the clips seemed unable to hold them in securely enough). This was rectified when I contacted the company and they sent some additional longer clips and once installed the shades have not fallen off since. Good product - would recommend 👍🏻”

“These are great shades, don’t fit as well as the photo show and when when i shut the rear door the shade fell off. I asked for an additional clips which came no problem and don’t have the problem anymore.”
