Car Windshield Sun Shade - Made of Nylon Polyester, Thicker Than Most Sunshades, Protects You From The Sun’s Heat and UV Radiation, Easy to Install and Fold, 3 Year Guarantee

It is a bizarre little thing that unfolds into a lightweight shade that is wide enough to cover the windshield in my Suburu Forester. It is tall enough that the right and left window shades hold it in place at the top when they are folded down. And, the bottom fits snugly against the glass and the top of the dashboard.The silver reflective side fits against the window and the black side faces the back of the car. It is dynamite! It is lightweight and can be folded back up to fit in its small carry pack. It definitely keeps the dash and the steering wheel cool when the car is facing the sun. It was a gift to me from Tony P http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XAX4B9A?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

This sunshade arrived immediately - AMAZING. When I put it in my car, it popped open and slipped right in place. As the directions said the visors hold it in place. With just a bit of careful twisting it goes right back into the little bag and slips into the seat back pocket and no one will ever know it is there. It keeps my car from overheating - IT REALLY WORKS. The price is right too. Every car should come with one.

Fantastic out of the box, fit right in my GMC Terrain, little effort. Seems durable, tho there is a pretty minor defect out of the package, a small hole , but I dont think its going to make much of a difference (as long as it doesnt keep getting bigger with use). Only thing that kept it from 5 stars. Would order this again!

This is shade is fine, but not great quality. It is very thin and flimsy. Not really what I was hoping to get. I feel like I could have gotten the same quality from the local dollar store. It works fine, but I feel like on hotter 100+ degree weather this shade won't really cut it. Today was not very sunny and only 85 degrees, and there was some sun coming through the shade.

One would think that these types of things would be self-explanatory, but alas, I've never had a need for one so I've never used one. There are no instructions on how to use it or what the elastic bands are for, etc. There is literature asking you to go on and rate them high.... so I know they *do* have a working printer... Back in the reviews is where I found out how to wedge these between the sunshades on the vehicle, the mirror, and allow it to just prop up that way. I did that, and it works -- just OK. It's fallen down a few times and it doesn't really cover all of my dash (which is why I bought one of these since my last dash got a lot of sun damage). Overall, it's just OK... still not sure how to incorporate the elastic bands that are attached to the sides but it seems OK for what I use it for. In retrospect, I should have shopped a bit more for one of these and may have ended up with a different one.

I have prematurely rated this Alphashade after one time use of this product. I've been using this product for 2 wks now, haven't taken notice until this very moment thinking about it, that my car isn't heated anymore. this Alphashade really does work, in keeping my car cooler. I also can feel the difference in the material, where as the ones I bought prior, were made of cheap material. Alphashade springs back into shape. its also comes with Lifetime Warranty. How can you beat that? Plus, the Customer relations is excellent! The owner of AlphaShade emails you personally to thank you for purchasing his product, how is your experience, and if there's anything he can do to make it better. You need to give it a try, and I guess, somehow, it activates with the sun, and my car is 60% cooler than it normally is.

I'm afraid the shade is incredibly disappointing. The dimensions may be technically correct, but several inches of the height are just UNSUPPORTED flaps of nylon cloth, which collapse and fold under when the shade is upright. My windshield is only 54x30", but this shade only barely touches my car's visors, and leaves big openings (see photo). That's because the metal loops that provide all the support are only 26" in diameter, which is far too short... In fact a full 5.5" shorter than the specs claim! If your windshield is more than 26" tall, this probably won't work for you. What's more, there are 27" tall shades all over Amazon for just $5: * niceeshop Car Front Rear Sunshade, Silver Front and Black Rear * Folding 59" x 27" Windshield Sun Shade Black Silver Tone for Car Auto * Brotechno 59-Inch X 27-Inch Folding Windshield Sun Shade for Car, Nylon, Black / Silver And here's a full car, 6-window set selling for as little as $8 right now: * Vktech 6Pcs Folding Silvering Reflective Car Window Sun Shade Visor Shield Cover I'm also disappointed by how much heat the shade absorbs and lets through... My car isn't hardly any cooler for using the shade. The fabric is much thinner than I had expected, and not even slightly reflective. Instead just a flat grey, which absorbs lots of light and heat. White would have been better, and mylar or foil much better still. It's also an ordeal routing the shade around my rear-view mirror, which AlphaShades conveniently avoids in all product photos by only using vehicles where the rear-view mirror isn't attached to the windshield! With how nice it looks in photos, I suspect it was glued in place. It's only just slightly better than having nothing at all, and not remotely worth the price. In fact a cheap little $7 snow cover I bought last year is reflective and larger than this, and makes a far better sun-shade than this thing, without actually trying: * Hopkins Subzero 17511 All Season Windshield Screen 70" x 29" But my ultimate solution was to buy a roll of foil-coated bubble insulation, and carefully cut it to fit: * InfraStop 48" X 10' Double Bubble Reflective Foil Insulation It's reflective, and the air bubbles give it a little structure and insulation (only R-1). It takes a good hour to cut it to fit your windshield, but you can do a seamless job, making it tuck into the edges, fit tightly around the mirror, etc. It seems to tolerate being folded to fit under the passenger seat, but curls and then sags a bit in the heat, so visor positioning is still important. While that roll isn't very cheap, it's enough to do multiple cars, side windows and all.
