“Shades were well made and fit well. Big disappointment was the difficulty in installation..a/ clips very hard to use( had to use pliers), b/ instructions guide does not clarify which clip goes where and which way around, and c/ video shot from too far away to see any useful detail. Query on use of window blind was met with a mail which copied same guide sheet as already provided with the above issues”

Hi Paul Please could you please send a few photos of the issues along with your order number to sales@carshades.co.uk? We’ll review and assist with the installation concerns and clarify the clip orientation and guide instructions. Kind regards, Car Shades

“They're generally a good idea and seem to do the job. One of the shades didn't fit as nicely as the others and didn't stay on the window and fell off in a car park at night so I couldn't find the fixings. Rather unfortunate. The fixings are also very stiff and difficult to attach.”

“The packaging and presentation is great - very neat and the shades are really good quality. The fit/shape could be better on my car however (a 2017 Discovery Sport), they don’t look particularly well fitting, but still perform as shades. Would recommend-just with that small caveat.”

“The shades look good quality however, I entered my make, year and model and the shades that arrive do not fit my car. I now have to send them back to obtain at refund at my own expense.”

Hi – if the shades you have ordered are incorrect then your Kodiaq must be the earlier model, even though it may be a 24 reg car it must be the previous model (Kodiaq had a model change in 2024 and you have ordered the 2024 onwards ones) The images of the models are in the listing to help clarify this when customers vehicles are registered around model change years as car manufactures never have a definitive cut off date and will supply both models for a short cross over period.

“Good quality but sticky pads have unstuck and back window isn’t a perfect fit bit I managed to squeeze it in. Not as snug as the set I bought for my mk7.5 Golf R.”

“Bought some car shades for my Vauxhall Crossland a couple of years ago. They were a pain to fit but once done they have been brilliant. On the back of this we ordered some for my wife's mini 5 door 2925. For the life of me I cannot get them to fit. Noticed that the website says blinds to fit up to 2024 model. Phoned car shades who initially were quite helpful and told me to email someone in development team to see if these blinds should fit and that they were looking at this mini model to develop blinds. Looking on the website the model they were look in at was the 3 door version. Emailed the development team to check but email didn't work. Tried to contact development team by phone but got the general phone number. Asked for a call back but nothing. All I want to know is if these blinds should fit and if so I will persevere but if not I will need to return. Until car shades get back to me I am reluctant to return item only to find that they should fit and have to reorder.”

“Not impressed that they don't cover all the window on my car, I've purchased these before for previous cars and fitted alot better than these . When I rang up was told I could return them for a refund but would have to cover postage costs.”

Hi - due to the angle of the rear window it is impossible to get out shades to fit closer to the glass. The shades do cover the whole of the rear window. If you are unhappy with the way the shades fit please feel free to return them and we will refund you.

“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.
