How to install Car Shades

2023-12-06

What are car shades?

Car shades are a type of award-winning sun protection for the rear and side windows made of a fine mesh. They are fitted using clips, so they stay in place even when the windows are rolled down. All car shades have a perfect fit as they are customised for each car model.

Why do you need car shades?

Car shades provide protection from the sun. If your car gets very hot, or if you have passengers in the back seat who are bothered by it, car shades are a great way to prevent it. They reduce the amount of light coming in by 72%. All parts are customised to fit the specified model, so they cover the entire window perfectly. In addition, the window panes can be lowered for extra coolness, as they are mounted with special clips.

A further bonus is that the mesh also protects from insects flying into the car.

Car shades are only available for the rear window and the rear side windows. This is because visibility would otherwise be too poor. For sun protection for the front of the car, we recommend solar film, available here.

How to install car shades?

Fitting car shades is super easy, although the details can obviously vary from model to model. In general, it goes like this:

1. Unpack all the parts from the packaging.

2. Hook the clips between the window pane and the surrounding rubber strip.

3. insert the cover.

4. repeat until all the covers are fitted.

Installing a full set rarely takes more than ten minutes and can be done by yourself. No mechanic is required.
