SolarGuard Plus Sunshade for Car Windshield - Reflective Car Shades for Windshield, Blocks Damaging UV Rays - for Use on Front Window Exterior, Includes Security Flaps - Silver, Standard Size

Keeps my car significantly cooler and works just like their frost guard w loops over the mirrors and tabs you close in the door to prevent it from being removed of flying off. Just dont use it instead of the frost guard, it is made out of lighter thinner material and likely wont stand up to winter ice.

This product works very well. I have their FrostGuard cover that I have used for years in the winter and is excellent too. For those who have trouble assembling the rods, please just study the cover well before inserting them. The rods go inside each sleeve in their entirety before closing the Velcro over the final end. Do not try to insert the rods under the individual black elastic bands. Keep the rods enclosed inside the entire sleeves and look for the proper starting point to begin. The stitching does not interfere. Hope this helps!

1 star is too many for this either defective or poorly designed product. The sunshade has poles on each side for easy handling, and elastic loops on each side to hold the poles in place. Where it should have a pocket to hold the pole in place on both the top and bottom, there is none on the bottom and about a 1/4 deep one on top. The shade does not stay put and slides along the poles when put on the windshield, therefore not covering it. I purchased one of these solar shades a few years back, and it was very well made, in fact I am still using it on my other vehicle. How can it be more cost effective for the manufacturer to sew on multiple elastic loops for the poles and an inadequate top pocket than to cut the fabric an little longer on each side and sew a rod pocket for the poles and close it off at the top and bottom? (The rods are in 2 pieces and insert in the middle of the anti-theft flap). This is the way this product used to be made. Very, very disappointed in this product and in anyone who wastes my time selling it. Also $25 is a lot for something that is designed so bad it doesn't work. Now I have the hassle of either sending it back or hiring someone with a sewing machine to fix it so it actually works!

Edit: Putting it on is easy. The only thing I found was the wind affects it. It wants to fly! So when you put it on pay attention to wind direction. It kept the interior much cooler than it would have been without it. The main reason I bought it is the purchase of a product called the comm.ai, which is used to keep the car in the lane and has excellent adaptive cruise control. If it overheats the car throws errors. I think this sun shield is going to prevent that. First impression: The instructions for assembling the rod into the cover are pathetic. There's no other word for it. The person who made the drawing either never did it themselves, or is inept at providing accurate instructions. This is the reason (so far) for the 4 stars instead of 5. Lift the Velcro flap as shown in the sketch, push the assembled rod into the gap and under the silver material (there is a pocket there), then after pushing the rod in as far as you can, stand the uncovered part of the rod straight up on the floor while pulling the cover straight up to remove the bend that keeps the rod from going all the way in. Pull down on the fabric to cover the rest of the rod. Once it's all the way in close the Velcro flap. The case provided doesn't hold the entire length of the shade, but it holds enough to keep the shade under control.

This is my second Solar Guard windshield protector. My first, from the same company, lasted about 6+ years! Not only does this protect yur dash from sun damage, it keeps yur windshield perfectly clean AND keeps yur car cool when the sun is blazing😎I’m very petite (barely 5ft)-this is easy to use and rolls up neat when yur ready to go! The design is simple yet extremely effective. I have a RAV 4 Limited and the item fits my vehicle perfect. The shield holds up in the rain, fog and hours of direct sunlight. (When it’s wet, i lay it out to dry and it’s like brand new-easy to wipe clean, etc.) Yu can’t beat the choice of sizes, colors and the price! I highly recommend for those who do not use full car-covers. I assume this one will last for years as my previous sunshade lasted. Enjoy yur spotless windshield daily as yu get into yur nice cool car!

My original “Solar Guard” (circa 2012) kept interior 15 degrees cooler by days end, so I’m hoping this new one protects dash at least. This new one is better than most other brands, but not as effective as my old product. I’ll give it a 3.5 but I’m disappointed.

I use this during the summer and OMG, it is a game changer! Traditional interior window shades trap heat between the glass and the shade. Even the tiniest amount of space turns the car into an oven. This shade eliminates that heat gap protecting my car (and hands!) from the sun. Temps in my area get to be 90°-100°+ F in the summer. Using this shade keeps my car at least 20° cooler than a standard interior shade and 30° cooler than not using it. Its thin material makes it easy to fold and it easily fits in a seat-back pocket. easy to put on the windshield. Just tuck it under the wipers on breezy days. The size is perfect and the elastic makes sure it fits taught across the entire windshield of my 2025 Hyundai Tucson. I couldn’t be more pleased with this!

Perfect fit and keeps the heat out before it gets through your windshield like other sun shades.This is my second one, first on lasted 5 years. Highly recommended.

Perfect fit for My Subaru 2024 Crosstrek. Instructions are a little lacking in the placement of the plastic rods. Thanks to the comments of other users problem solved. Now if it stands up to the summer elements it is solution for the problem of interior sunshades with installed dash cams. Easy to install remove and store .

This is a great product. A little more time needed to cover the windscreen however it keeps the heat off the glass.

External sun shade- check. Block sun adequately- check. Covers windshield properly - no.. and it could have easily. As others have said, the poles do not have a top AND bottom pocket for the pole to slide into, so the stretchy bands that attach to the mirror pull the fabric inwards and the sun shield in never “stretched” along the length of the poles. I’ll sew in appropriate pockets and then it will work properly. UPDATE- the poles can fit inside the fabric sleeve. The top is by the velcro and the poll slides inside. The white pole should not be visible. Updated to 4/5 stars- poor instructions
